Site constraints 8

Horningsea 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 about 263 m away: Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation
The site is about 263 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements (at pre-application, about 1315 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 ↗
9 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: 86 and 88, High Street, Grade II, about 13 m from the postcode pin · 9 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
Tree preservation order about 14 m away: HORNINGSEA The Vicarage; Inside the Horningsea built-up area; Priority habitat about 14 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt about 58 m away: Cambridge; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

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, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
