Nearest: Presbytery of St Peter's Church, Gorleston, Grade II, about 29 m from the postcode pin · 1 Grade II*, 5 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
