Site constraints 9

3 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin

Nearest: Ibex House, Grade II, the postcode pin is inside its outline · 1 Grade I, 2 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.

Historic England ↗

Archaeological priority area

An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.

The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.

Air quality management area: City of London 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 about 206 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel

The site is about 206 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: London Strategic Heat Main Project (at pre-application, about 548 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 ↗

Scheduled monument about 83 m away: London Wall: section of Roman wall and bastion beneath Crosswall, No. 1 America Square and Fenchurch Street railway station

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 ↗

Central activities zone

The core of central London in the London Plan.

Offices, culture and the other strategic functions of the centre take priority over new housing here.

Also on the record

Inside the City and County of the City of London built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 6b (excellent), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; Designated open space about 35 m away.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 7 October 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, the Planning Inspectorate, Transport for London (public transport access levels, Powered by TfL Open Data, OGL v3.0, contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right 2025) 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.
