Site constraints 10

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea

Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Flood map ↗

3 Article 4 directions

Other Article 4 Direction Area · Borough Employment Area related A4D · Borough Employment Area. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.

Locally significant industrial site

A borough-level industrial site.

Boroughs protect these sites for industrial and related uses.

Archaeological priority area

An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.

The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.

Air quality management area: Waltham Forest AQMA

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.

Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.

Council record ↗

Opportunity area

Where the London Plan expects significant growth.

Boundaries are indicative and the borough holds the detailed plan.

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Waltham Forest built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 0 (very poor), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; Metropolitan Open Land about 88 m away.

Not affected

Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
