Site constraints 7

Star Hill to Sun Pier 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.
Article 4 direction
Star Hill to Sun Pier. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Otterham Creek to Stoke Marshes 21 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
32 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: 10, Star Hill, Grade II, 40 m away · 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.
