Site constraints 3

3 Article 4 directions
Article 4 Direction relating to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HIMO) - Non immediate direction · Central Milton Keynes Article 4 Direction · Article 4 Direction relating to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HIMO) - Immediate 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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Also on the record
Inside the Milton Keynes built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
