Site constraints 7

2 Article 4 directions
Former Wycombe Rural District - Poultry Production · Land at Glory Park Business Park, Wooburn Green. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
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; Flood defence 9 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 2 year flood); Inside the Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green built-up area; Conservation area 99 m away: Watery Lane; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
