Site constraints 7

Blackheath 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.
Council document ↗
Air quality management area: Greenwich AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
National infrastructure project 821 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is 821 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Silvertown Tunnel (decided, 1716 m); London Strategic Heat Main Project (at pre-application, 790 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
2 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Glenwood, Grade II, 54 m away · 1 Grade II*, 1 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.
