As part of the review process, we are now inviting comments on the Goring-on-Thames Conservation Area Appraisal document.

The document details a number of proposed changes to the Goring-on-Thames Conservation Area boundary as follows: 

  • Addition of Railway Cottages to the conservation area because they are considered to be of historic and architectural interest.  

  • Addition of six properties on Manor Road to the conservation area (Querton, Grange Cottage, Rivermead, Beckett, St Mary’s and Byways) because they are considered to be of historic and architectural interest.  

  • Removal of modern houses on Elmhurst Walk from conservation area because they are not of historic and architectural interest. 

  • Removal of modern developments at Sloane Close and Farm Road near Tesco from the conservation area because they are not of historic and architectural interest.  

  • Corrections to the western boundary so that it follows the current Oxfordshire administrative boundary. This will result in the inclusion of the GII listed Streatley paddle and rymer weir within the Oxfordshire administrative area and the exclusion of parts of the Swan Hotel at Streatley and other domestic gardens which are within the administration of Berkshire.  

More details on these proposed changes can be found in Section 8 of the appraisal document. 

We are inviting your comments on the proposed changes during a four-week consultation period which runs from Wednesday 10 September until 11.59pm on Wednesday 8 October 2025.

What happens next?

After the consultation period ends, we will consider your comments and make appropriate changes to the draft document and boundary revision before we proceed to adopt it via the council’s cabinet process. Once adopted, we will publish the cabinet report, new conservation area appraisal document and adopted revised boundary on our website.
