Site constraints 4

12 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: The Chequers Inn, Grade II, about 57 m from the postcode pin · 1 Grade I, 11 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.
Show all 12 with distances
Historic England ↗
Conservation area about 23 m away: Wrestlingworth Conservation Area
The edge of the area; work outside it can still affect its setting.
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
Inside the Wrestlingworth built-up area; 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 · No scheduled monument at the site

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 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.

Any exceedance should be shown with pathways, depths and velocity. This should show existing property is not increased in flood risk. 3) Calculation should be carried out to measure the volume that will be displaced and show how this will be stored/not adversely affect other property. 4) We will require full drainage drawings showing all connections, control features, storage, inverts etc.� 5) We will require BRE365 infiltration test results.

If bats are found during the course of any work to buildings or trees where not previously anticipated, then works should immediately stop and Natural England notified for appropriate advice. 10 )The existing outbuildings provide opportunities for roosting birds and evidence of previous nesting was found onsite. Development of the site should therefore take place outside of the bird nesting season (March to August). If this is not possible, then it is recommended that a suitably qualified ecologist is present on-site during any vegetation clearance. If an occupied nest is found onsite, then a buffer zone around the nest would be required until the nest is no longer in use.The existing outbuildings provide opportunities for roosting birds and evidence of previous nesting was found onsite.
