Site constraints 3

National infrastructure project 535 m away: London Luton Airport Expansion
The site is 535 m from the project boundary. Airport, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: M1 Junction 10a Grade Separation - Luton (decided, 955 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
