Site constraints 7

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Habitat network: Traditional orchards
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Confirmed 22/9/09.; National infrastructure project 1808 m away: Slough Multifuel Extension Project; Priority habitat 5 m away: Traditional orchard; Inside the Farnham Common and Farnham Royal built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
