Site constraints 6

Bowthorpe 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 ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Small Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in Wisbech · Household Extensions and Alterations in Wisbech and Bowthorpe Conservation Areas. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Heritage at risk: Bowthorpe
