Site constraints 5

Archaeological priority area: Potential prehistoric deposits may be buried beneath gravel deposits.

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: Havering 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 ↗
Public footpath about 28 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.
Also on the record
Inside the Havering built-up area; Green belt about 26 m away: London.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 30 September 2026.

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