Site constraints 4

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Torquay built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
