26/02499/LBC - Listed Building Consent Registered
Listed buildings

Proposal

Listed Building Consent to install 2 no. 150mm diameter drainage pipes through the listed wall in order that trapped surface water can find it's way into the estuary, to aid drainage of surface water from Alnmouth Footpath No. 10. The outfall will be fitted with one-way valves to stop sea water going up the pipes. There are other associated works being carried out to allow the collection of the surface water before being directed to the outfalls. This work is adjacent to but does not affect the wall.

Site constraints 11

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Northumberland Coast National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Amble to Bamburgh across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Public footpath 5 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Heritage coast: North Northumberland
A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.
Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.
Special protection area 1 m away: Northumberland Marine
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.
Habitat network: Coastal saltmarsh
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Conservation area 1 m away: Alnmouth
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.
Council document ↗
SSSI 154 m away: Northumberland Shore SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
3 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Old Harbour Wall, Grade II, 55 m away · 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.

Priority habitat 1 m away: Coastal saltmarsh.
Not affected
Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. 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.
