Closing dates you can still act on, applications and decisions on the street, appeals, the protections that cover it, and the council's land and licensing papers.
Planning on this street
We have no planning applications or decisions for this street. That doesn’t mean nothing has happened here, only that the council’s weekly planning lists haven’t named it since our record starts on 21 April 2026.
Conservation, listed buildings and protected trees
None of the town’s 18 conservation areas reaches Magpie Close as mapped.
Measured along the street’s line against the council’s boundaries. Whether a particular building is inside depends on where the boundary runs: each area’s page on the council’s site has its map. All 18 conservation areas

Air quality nearby
The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Harley Shute Road, about 330 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 17.0 µg/m³ in 2025.
Every year the report gives: 2021: 23.6, 2022: 24.1, 2023: 17.3, 2024: 17.6, 2025: 17.0 (µg/m³).
Each figure is for the kerbside spot where the tube or monitor sits, not for the whole street. The report compares each site “with the air quality objective of 40µg/m3”, an annual mean. From the borough council's 2026 Air Quality Annual Status Report (May 2026, read 12 October 2026). Every site
GP, pharmacy and dentist
The nearest of each on NHS England's register, measured from the middle of this street in a straight line. Nearest doesn't mean a practice takes patients from this street or is taking new ones; each name links to its NHS website page, with its opening hours.
The practice told the NHS it accepts new NHS patients for routine care if they are: adults entitled to free routine dental care; children aged 17 or under. The practice last confirmed this on 12 October 2026. Information from the NHS website, read 30 October 2026.
