Historic England ↗

Historic Core 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 ↗

Air quality management area: Cambridge AQMA

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.

Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.

Council record ↗

Registered park or garden 19 m away: King's College

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic England ↗

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

Local nature reserve 477 m away: Sheep's Green and Coe Fen; Inside the Cambridge (Cambridge) built-up area; National infrastructure project 1610 m away: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements, at pre-application.

Not affected

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