Site constraints 7

Loose Valley conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

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.

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