RBC Smoke Control AreaClifton upon Dunsmorehttps
Air quality management area: Rugby AQMA (NO2)
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
National infrastructure project 6 m away: Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal
The site is 6 m from the project boundary. Rail freight interchange, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: The Grand Union Canal Transfer (at pre-application, 892 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

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.
