Site constraints 6

2 Article 4 directions
Protected shopping frontage SF35: Grove Vale · The Cherry Tree. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Tree preservation order: 31-33 Grove Vale
Consent is needed before work on protected trees. A single protected tree within 15 m, nearest 2 m.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Air quality management area: Southwark AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
