Site constraints 5

Public footpath 27 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
1 listed building within 150 m
Nearest: Clapham Park Farmhouse, Grade II, 56 m away
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.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; National infrastructure project 100 m away: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements, at pre-application; Inside the Clapham (Bedford) built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
