Since December 2025: 1 planning application and 5 planning decisions. Each dot is one of them, in the month it happened. Our planning records start in April 2026 and our council papers in September 2025, and street problems show only while they are open, so earlier months may look quieter than they really were.

Planning and building here

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

Every planning application and decision we hold for Wellington Square, 6 in all (5 granted, 0 refused and 1 other decision), newest first. Our record starts on 21 April 2026, from the council’s weekly lists; earlier applications here are on the council’s own planning search. An application made before then appears only if it was decided since, and then without its earlier dates.

Conservation, listed buildings and protected trees

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

The council’s street index lists these properties on Wellington Square under Article 4 directions, which take away some building work that wouldn’t otherwise need planning permission:

  • Article 4 Direction 1952 painting restriction ↗: 1, 1A, 2 (detailed in list as 1 & 2 Glenroyde Hotel), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, Baptist Church

The council’s Article 4 direction on houses in multiple occupation covers the whole town (in force since 2 July 2012): turning a house into a shared house for three to six people needs planning permission. The council’s page ↗

Tree preservation orders

The council’s map data has no tree preservation order within about 40 m of Wellington Square’s line.

Air quality nearby

The council's nitrogen dioxide tube at Carlise Parade, about 430 m from the middle of this street: an annual mean of 16.5 µg/m³ in 2025.
