Listed buildingsTelecoms mastsUtility infrastructure

Proposal

Fibre telecoms cable to be span onto the building and attached at top of building underneath eaves. Then 80m cable on wall to be run down the eaves and across building following existing cable between ground floor and first floor windows. Cable will go along edges so as to not stand out. Cable will go round to extension building and go into it via a new drilled hole next to the internal comms cabinet. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 8

Grade II listed: Harecastle Farmhouse
List entry 1374407 · The pin is inside its outline
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 ↗
Green belt: Stoke-on-Trent
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Local nature reserve 140 m away: Bathpool Park
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: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Talke and Talke Pits built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
