Grade II listed: Hope Inn
List entry 1101466 · The pin is inside its outline · 13 more listed buildings within 150 m (1 Grade I, 12 Grade II)

Historic England ↗
St Margarets-at-Cliffe 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.
Radon affected area, class 6
An estimated 30% or more of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

National landscape 145 m away: Kent Downs; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the St Margaret's at Cliffe built-up area; Heritage at risk 86 m away: Church of St Margaret, High Street; Heritage coast 147 m away: South Foreland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
