Site constraints 4

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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Huntington (York) built-up area; Priority habitat about 20 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
