Site constraints 9

47 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: Cornwall House, Grade II*, about 6 m from the postcode pin · 3 Grade II*, 44 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Show all 47 with distances
Cadw ↗
Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wye
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Monmouth (Central) 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.
Offa's Dyke Path about 22 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Scheduled monument about 142 m away: Monmouth Castle
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Also on the record
Registered park or garden about 106 m away: Monmouth: Nelson Garden; Special area of conservation about 385 m away: River Wye / Afon Gwy (Wales); SSSI about 385 m away: River Wye (Lower Wye) / Afon Gwy (Gwy Isaf).

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
