Site constraints 10

Isles Of Scilly National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Isles of Scilly conservation area

Also Isles of Scilly 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.

4 Article 4 directions

Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1975 · Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1988 · Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1995 · Isles of Scilly Article 4 Direction 1998. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.

Heritage coast: Isles of Scilly

A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.

Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.

Scheduled monument about 37 m away: Post-medieval breastwork, curtain wall and associated defensive structures on the periphery of The Garrison, St Mary's

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 104 m away: Isles of Scilly

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

10 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Heritage at risk about 37 m away: Post-medieval breastwork, curtain wall and associated defensive structures on the periphery of The Garrison; Inside the Hugh Town built-up area.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 11 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.
