Site constraints 4

Tredegar Heritage Initiative 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
Registered park or garden about 149 m away: Bedwellty Park, Tredegar; Local nature reserve about 415 m away: Parc Bryn Bach; 2 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 26 September 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.
