Site constraints 5

High Weald National Landscape

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Pembury built-up area; Priority habitat 21 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt 51 m away: London.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
