Site constraints 8

Portishead Woodhill Road 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.
Tree preservation order: The Abbey, Woodhill Road, Portishead
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
3 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Numbers 9 to 21 and Bounbary Walls and Gatepiers to Woodhill Road, Grade II, 22 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.

Historic England ↗
National infrastructure project 657 m away: Portishead Branch Line - MetroWest Phase 1
The site is 657 m from the project boundary. Railway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Hinkley Point C Connection (decided, 1614 m); Hinkley Point C Connection Project Material Change (at pre-application, 1609 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.
