Public footpath 11 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Welwyn Garden City built-up area; Green belt 24 m away: London.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
