Site constraints 6

Article 4 direction
HMO Article 4(1) Direction North Order 2025. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; SSSI 305 m away: Swanscombe Peninsula SSSI; 2 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Swanscombe built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
