Site constraints 8

33 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: The Watergate, Grade I, about 30 m from the postcode pin · 1 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 29 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.
Show all 33 with distances
Historic England ↗
Public footpath about 5 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.
Scheduled monument about 4 m away: The walls, towers, gates and posterns of the City of Chester
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 ↗

Special area of conservation about 352 m away: River Dee and Bala Lake / Afon Dyfrdwy a Llyn Tegid (England); Radon affected area, class 2; SSSI about 353 m away: River Dee (England) SSSI; Inside the Chester built-up area; Air quality management area about 25 m away: Chester City Centre AQMA (No.5).

Checked on 6 October 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
