Site constraints 7

Blandford St Mary and Bryanston Conservation Area 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.
Also on the record
Scheduled monument 172 m away: St Leonard's Chapel; National landscape 256 m away: Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Blandford Forum built-up area; Priority habitat 23 m away: Deciduous woodland; 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 · Not green belt

Checked on 6 October 2026. 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.
