Site constraints 7

Air quality management area: Southwark 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 ↗

Local nature reserve 78 m away: Nunhead Cemetery

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.

Conservation area 15 m away: Nunhead Green

The edge of the area; work outside it can still affect its setting.

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 ↗

Registered park or garden 79 m away: Nunhead Cemetery (All Saints)

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic England ↗

Also on the record

Heritage at risk 64 m away: Nunhead Cemetery, Nunhead; Inside the Southwark built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 2 (poor), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square.
