Site constraints 9

Article 4 direction
Article 4 South. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
National infrastructure project 464 m away: Portishead Branch Line - MetroWest Phase 1
The site is 464 m from the project boundary. Railway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Local nature reserve 236 m away: Avon New Cut
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.
1 listed building within 150 m
Nearest: Former Toll House to Front of Toll House Court, Grade II, 42 m away
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.

Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Bristol built-up area; Air quality management area 11 m away: Bristol AQMA; Priority habitat 36 m away: Deciduous woodland.

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