Site constraints 7

2 Article 4 directions
Change of use or development that would result in new dwellings (Class MA/ZA) · Dwellinghouses (C3) to small HMOs (C4) - borough-wide 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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

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.
