Site constraints 8

Article 4 direction
Jesmond and Heaton. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Scheduled monument about 127 m away: Medieval fortified house, known as the Camera of Adam, Heaton
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Registered park or garden about 125 m away: Jesmond Dene, Armstrong and Heaton Parks; Coalfield, development low risk area; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Newcastle upon Tyne built-up area; Tree preservation order about 23 m away: St Theresa's R C Church, Heaton Road.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

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 Mining Remediation Authority 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.
