Site constraints 9

Grade II listed: Lloyd's Bank
List entry 1260826 · 2 m from the pin · 114 more listed buildings within 150 m (2 Grade I, 9 Grade II*, 103 Grade II)
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.

Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: Stodmarsh SAC/SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
CANTERBURY CITY (Canterbury Conservation Area) Reg 4.12.96 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
Canterbury and surrounding area. Dated 25.02.2015 effective 25.02.2016. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
North Downs Way 11 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Scheduled monument 76 m away: The Guildhall
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.
Historic England ↗
World heritage site 85 m away: Canterbury Cathedral, St. Augustine's Abbey and St. Martin's Church
