Stansted Mountfitchet 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.
Article 4 direction
Confirmed - Stansted Con Area Town & County Planning. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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
Scheduled monument 185 m away: Stansted Castle: a ringwork and associated bailey 100m north of Elms Farm; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Stansted Mountfitchet built-up area; Tree preservation order 29 m away: 7 Individual Trees; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
