Site constraints 10

Grade II listed: Albert Terrace
List entry 1216261 · 8 m away · 18 more listed buildings within 150 m (18 Grade II)
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.
Show the other 18 with distances
Historic England ↗
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 ↗
Sidmouth Sid Vale 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.
Public footpath 20 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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Special area of conservation 456 m away: Sidmouth to West Bay; SSSI 456 m away: Sidmouth to Beer Coast SSSI; Flood defence 27 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 100 year flood); National landscape 429 m away: East Devon; Inside the Sidmouth built-up area.
Not affected
Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
