Site constraints 6

Article 4 direction
Immediate Article 4 Direction for small Houses in Multiple Occupation. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Also on the record
Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Rawtenstall built-up area; Priority habitat 21 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt 57 m away: Merseyside and Greater Manchester; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority 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.
