List entry 1207795 · 5 m away · 2 more listed buildings within 150 m (2 Grade II)

Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wye SAC (River Lugg SSSI)
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Aylestone Hill 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 ↗
