Site constraints 15

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 ↗

2 Article 4 directions

Central Activities Zone · Elephant and Castle Major Town Centre. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

Tree preservation order: Trafalgar Place land bounded by Victory Place, Balfour St and Rodney Road SE17 1AS

Consent is needed before work on protected trees.

Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

Air quality management area: Southwark 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 ↗

Town centre: Elephant and Castle/ Walworth Road

A designated centre in the London Plan.

Shops, services and active frontages are protected in centres, and main town centre uses are steered here first.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Central activities zone

The core of central London in the London Plan.

Offices, culture and the other strategic functions of the centre take priority over new housing here.

2 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin

Nearest: Lady Margaret Church, Grade II, about 42 m from the postcode pin · 2 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.

Historic England ↗

National infrastructure project about 952 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel

The site is about 952 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: London Strategic Heat Main Project (at pre-application, about 398 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 ↗

Opportunity area

Where the London Plan expects significant growth.

Boundaries are indicative and the borough holds the detailed plan.

Conservation area about 22 m away: Yates Estate and Victory

The edge of the area; work outside it can still affect its setting.

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.

Also on the record

Wider setting of protected view 1A.2 Alexandra Palace viewing terrace to St Paul's Cathedral; 23A.1 Centre of Bridge over the Serpentine to the Palace of Westminster; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Southwark built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 6b (excellent), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square.

Not affected

Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 2 November 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.
