Site constraints 6

South Highfields 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 ↗

Article 4 direction

Leicester City Council HMO Article 4 Direction 2021. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

Air quality management area: Leicester AQMA

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.

Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.

Council record ↗

Registered park or garden about 62 m away: New Walk, Leicester

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.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 25 September 2026.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
