Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
4 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Chithurst Bridge, Grade II, 56 m away · 1 Grade I, 3 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.
