Site constraints 4

Saxmundham 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 ↗
National infrastructure project 428 m away: Sea Link
The site is 428 m from the project boundary. Electricity line, awaiting the Secretary of State's decision. Also within 2 km: The Sizewell C Project (decided, 785 m); East Anglia ONE North Offshore Windfarm (decided, 1958 m); East Anglia TWO Offshore Windfarm (decided, 1958 m); LionLink Interconnector (at pre-application, 403 m); Suffolk Water Recycling Transfer and Storage (at pre-application, 638 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
5 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Crown House, Grade II, 33 m away · 5 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.

Inside the Saxmundham built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
