Filey Brigg to Newport Bridge across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Whitby 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.
Scheduled monument 107 m away: Whitby Abbey: Saxon double-house, post-Conquest Benedictine monastery, C17 manor house and C14 cross.
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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; SSSI 304 m away: Whitby-Saltwick SSSI; Registered park or garden 168 m away: Whitby Abbey House; Inside the Whitby built-up area; Flood defence 45 m away (natural high ground); Heritage coast 109 m away: North Yorkshire & Cleveland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) 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.
