Site constraints 6

Dorset 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.
Bradpole Conservation Area 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.
8 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Stone Table Tomb 17 Metres South of Parish Church Chancel, Grade II, 50 m away · 8 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. 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.

Historic England ↗

Radon affected area, class 3; Scheduled monument 200 m away: Bowl barrow 200m north east of Holy Trinity Church; Inside the Bradpole built-up area.
