Site constraints 7

Culverley Green conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
2 Article 4 directions
Small HMO Northern Extension · Culverley Green Article 4 Direction. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
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.
Opportunity area
Where the London Plan expects significant growth.
Boundaries are indicative and the borough holds the detailed plan.
Also on the record
Inside the Lewisham built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 4 (good), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; Air quality management area 81 m away: Lewisham AQMA.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
