Valley Gardens 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.
Heritage at risk: Valley Gardens
On the register of historic places assessed as at risk.
A designated building, monument, park or conservation area assessed as at risk from neglect, decay or development. Proposals that secure its future are looked on favourably.
Registered park or garden 30 m away: The Royal Pavilion, Brighton
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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Brighton and Hove built-up area; Air quality management area 9 m away: Brighton and Hove AQMA 1.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
Checked on 2 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, 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.
