Site constraints 10

Article 4 direction
Article 4 Direction - Houses in Multiple Occupation Great Yarmouth. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
National infrastructure project about 199 m away: Great Yarmouth Third River Crossing
The site is about 199 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Redmere Wind Farm (at pre-application, about 766 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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Special protection area about 236 m away: Outer Thames Estuary
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Conservation area about 12 m away: No.2 Market Place, Rows & North Quay
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
Heritage at risk about 13 m away: Market Place, Rows and North Quay; 30 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; National park about 306 m away: The Broads; Scheduled monument about 238 m away: Town walls; Inside the Great Yarmouth built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 16 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 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.
