Site constraints 8

Castle Donington 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 ↗
National infrastructure project 514 m away: East Midlands Gateway Phase 2
The site is 514 m from the project boundary. Storage and distribution, examination closed, recommendation due. Also within 2 km: East Midlands Gateway Rail Freight Interchange (decided, 517 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
6 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Nos. 59 and 61 Bondgate, Grade II, 35 m away · 6 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.

Also on the record
