Site constraints 9

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

National landscape 44 m away: Cotswolds

Outside the landscape; its setting can still be raised.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

National nature reserve 272 m away: The Cheltenham Escarpment

Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.

Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.

Also on the record

1 listed building within 150 m; SSSI 271 m away: Leckhampton Hill and Charlton Kings Common SSSI; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Cheltenham built-up area; Green belt 44 m away: Cheltenham and Gloucester; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
