Documents 4

Site constraints 9

Suffolk Coast & Heaths National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Southwold 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 ↗

Heritage coast: Suffolk

A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.

Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

23 listed buildings within 150 m

Nearest: 25, High Street, Grade II, 40 m away · 1 Grade II*, 22 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.
