Isles Of Scilly National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Isles of Scilly conservation area
Also Isles of Scilly 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.
4 Article 4 directions
Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1975 · Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1988 · Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1995 · Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1998. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Heritage coast: Isles of Scilly
A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.
Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.
Special area of conservation about 84 m away: Isles of Scilly
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Scheduled monument about 172 m away: Round cairn with funerary chamber on Buzza Hill, 45m west of the Buzza Tower, St Mary's; SSSI about 481 m away: Lower Moors (St. Mary's) SSSI; Inside the Hugh Town built-up area.

Checked on 15 September 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 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.
