Site constraints 4

4 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: CHURCH STREET (WHITSTABLE ) registered 06.11.1991, about 5 m from the postcode pin · 3 Grade II

Show all 4 with distances
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Conservation area about 5 m away: CHURCH STREET (WHITSTABLE ) registered 06.11.1991
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.

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.
