Site constraints 11

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea

High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Flood map ↗

Article 4 direction

Small HMO Northern Extension. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

Strategic industrial land

Reserved for industry and logistics.

The London Plan protects strategic industrial locations from other uses; release needs a plan-led process.

Archaeological priority area

An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.

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: Lewisham 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 ↗

National infrastructure project 202 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel

The site is 202 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: London Strategic Heat Main Project (at pre-application, 607 m).

Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Opportunity area

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Lewisham built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 1a (very poor), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; Designated open space 34 m away.
