Site constraints 11

Bayswater conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Article 4 Basement Development Permitted Rights Removed. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Air quality management area: Westminster AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
Protected tree 6 m away: P10_T2, order P10
Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.
Tree record ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
9 listed buildings within 150 m; Registered park or garden 206 m away: Kensington Gardens; Inside the City of Westminster built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 6a (excellent), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; National infrastructure project 1751 m away: London Strategic Heat Main Project, at pre-application; Town centre 74 m away: Queensway/ Westbourne Grove.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
