Historic England ↗
Heptonstall conservation area
Also Heptonstall. Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

Council document ↗
Scheduled monument 55 m away: Old Church of St Thomas Becket, 210m north east of Daisy Field Farm
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 ↗

Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
