Nearest: Recorder's House, Grade II*, 42 m away · 4 Grade I, 5 Grade II*, 57 Grade II
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.
