Council record ↗
Special area of conservation 104 m away: Wimbledon Common
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 104 m away: Wimbledon Common SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
