Site constraints 4

Sherborne Conservation Area 2 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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Sherborne built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
