Site constraints 5

Public restricted byway about 7 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Tree preservation order: 23/1975
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Local nature reserve about 167 m away: Hayle Park (Mount Ararat and Hayle Park)
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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Maidstone built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 17 October 2026.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
