Site constraints 6

6 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Garden Wall to South of Peel House, Grade II, 14 m away · 1 Grade II*, 5 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 ↗
Protected tree 9 m away: The County of Northumberland (Middle Road, Shilbottle) Tree Preservation Order 1978 - Tree 1, order PKT0417
3 protected trees within 15 m. Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.
Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.
