Site constraints 6

Kent Downs National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Seal 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.

5 listed buildings within 150 m; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Seal built-up area; Green belt 22 m away: London.
