Site constraints 7

Public footpath 6 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Haslingfield 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 ↗
12 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Barn at Number 2 (Hillside Farmhouse), Grade II, 32 m away · 1 Grade I, 11 Grade II
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.

Historic England ↗
Scheduled monument 154 m away: Haslingfield Hall: a post-medieval moated site and associated formal garden remains, bridge, park wall and gateway
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
