Site constraints 11

Grade I listed: The Gate House the Old Palace
List entry 1065318 · 12 m away · 12 more listed buildings within 150 m (3 Grade I, 3 Grade II*, 6 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.
Show the other 12 with distances
Historic England ↗
Richmond Green 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 ↗
Public footpath 9 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.
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: Richmond 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 ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Registered park or garden 134 m away: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Inside the Richmond upon Thames built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 5 (very good), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; National infrastructure project 1209 m away: Expansion of Heathrow Airport (Third Runway), at pre-application; Metropolitan Open Land 31 m away.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
