Site constraints 10

Ilkley 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 ↗
Priority habitat: Deciduous woodland
A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.
Special protection area 67 m away: Bradford Pennine Gateway
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 99 m away: South Pennine Moors SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Scheduled monument 144 m away: Carved rock in wall of grounds of Overdale Nursing Home
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
Nature recovery project: Bradford and South Pennines; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Ilkley built-up area; Green belt 67 m away: South and West Yorkshire.
Not affected
