Site constraints 8

Grade II listed: The Old Vicarage and East Vicarage
List entry 1383157 · 0 m away · 14 more listed buildings within 150 m (1 Grade II*, 13 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.
Show the other 14 with distances
Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: Brue Catchment
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.
Wells 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 ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
National nature reserve 231 m away: Mendip
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; National landscape 312 m away: Mendip Hills; Inside the Wells built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
