Site constraints 6

Grade II listed: Jeffries
List entry 1112515 · The pin is inside its outline · 15 more listed buildings within 150 m (1 Grade II*, 13 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.

Arkesden 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.
Protected tree 10 m away: 125 Individual, 17 Groups, order 2/85/01-2251
2 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.

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