Historic England ↗
Leiston 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.
Council document ↗
National infrastructure project 245 m away: The Sizewell C Project
The site is 245 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: East Anglia ONE North Offshore Windfarm (decided, 1346 m); East Anglia TWO Offshore Windfarm (decided, 1346 m); Galloper Offshore Wind Farm (decided, 1885 m); Suffolk Water Recycling Transfer and Storage (at pre-application, 1820 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.

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