Site constraints 11
Belper and Milford 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.
World heritage site 6 m away: Derwent Valley Mills
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.
Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; 6 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Milford (Amber Valley) built-up area; Priority habitat 17 m away: Deciduous woodland; Heritage at risk 96 m away: Church of the Holy Trinity, Derby Road, Milford; National infrastructure project 1503 m away: Chesterfield to Willington, at pre-application; Green belt 92 m away: Derby and Nottingham; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
