Site constraints 3

Article 4 direction
2018 HMO Article 4 Direction. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

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
Inside the Eccles (Salford) built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 3 October 2026.

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