Grade II listed: The Old Bakery
List entry 1303101 · The pin is inside its outline · 7 more listed buildings within 150 m (7 Grade II)
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 ↗
Public footpath 25 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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
SSSI 259 m away: Bowdown and Chamberhouse Woods SSSI; Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Woolhampton built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
