Site constraints 8

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Brue Catchment
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.
Wells 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 ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
64 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Somerset Cottages, Grade II, 58 m away · 1 Grade I, 1 Grade II*, 62 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.
Show all 64 with distances
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Scheduled monument 177 m away: Bishop's tithe barn; Flood defence 19 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 2 year flood); Registered park or garden 223 m away: Bishops Palace, Wells; Inside the Wells built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 8 October 2026. 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.
