Site constraints 10

Grade II listed: White Friars
List entry 1069588 · 1 m away · 127 more listed buildings within 150 m (1 Grade I, 9 Grade II*, 117 Grade II)
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 the other 127 with distances
Historic England ↗
Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 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 ↗
Sandwich - Walled Town 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.
Article 4 direction
Article 4(2) Direction, Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
National infrastructure project 646 m away: Richborough Connection Project
The site is 646 m from the project boundary. Electricity line, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Sea Link (awaiting the Secretary of State's decision, 1684 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 ↗
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
Scheduled monument 162 m away: Sandwich town walls: section from New Gate to Woodnesborough Gate; Coalfield, development low risk area; Flood defence 33 m away (engineered high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Inside the Sandwich built-up area.
Not affected
Not green belt

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, 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.
