Site constraints 6

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Yare Broads and Marshes

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.

Scheduled monument about 80 m away: City walls and towers

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.

Historic England ↗

Also on the record

21 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Conservation area about 50 m away: Newmarket Road; Inside the Norwich built-up area; Air quality management area about 57 m away: Central Norwich AQMA.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 9 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
