Site constraints 9

The Downs 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 ↗
40 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: 34 Downleaze Bristol BS9 1LY, about 37 m from the postcode pin · 24 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.
Show all 40 with distances
National infrastructure project about 824 m away: Portishead Branch Line - MetroWest Phase 1
The site is about 824 m from the project boundary. Railway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Scheduled monument about 144 m away: Part of a Roman road on Durdham Down
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Special area of conservation about 365 m away: Avon Gorge Woodlands; Radon affected area, class 4; SSSI about 365 m away: Avon Gorge SSSI; Inside the Bristol built-up area; Open access land about 22 m away: Access Land - Combined Open Country, Registered Common Land and Section 16 Dedicated Land.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 5 November 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) 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.
