Site constraints 8

Air quality management area: Croydon 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.

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