Site constraints 10

Walbottle 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 ↗
Scheduled monument about 86 m away: Hadrian's Wall and vallum in wall mile 9, Blucher to Dene House
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 ↗
World heritage site about 86 m away: Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Hadrian's Wall)
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Local nature reserve about 333 m away: Walbottle Dene; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Walbottle built-up area; Tree preservation order about 22 m away: Walbottle Village; Heritage at risk about 86 m away: Hadrian's Wall and vallum in wall mile 9, Blucher to Dene House; Green belt about 92 m away: Tyne and Wear.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3

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.
