Rye 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.
2 Article 4 directions
Rother District Council (Rye Conservation Area, Rye, East Sussex) Article 4 Direction, 2007 · Rother District Council (Rye Town, East Sussex) Article 4 (No. 1) Direction, 1991. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Scheduled monument about 125 m away: Rye town walls
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.
Also on the record
Local nature reserve about 366 m away: Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay; National landscape about 214 m away: High Weald; SSSI about 366 m away: Rye Harbour SSSI; Inside the Rye built-up area; Priority habitat about 40 m away: Mudflats.

Checked on 21 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
