Site constraints 5

Basingstoke Town 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.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Basingstoke Town and Chineham and the surrounding villages of Old Basing, Oakley and Sherborne St John.. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Priority habitat 6 m away: Deciduous woodland; Inside the Basingstoke built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
