Site constraints 4

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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.

The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
