Site constraints 12

Green belt: London

Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.

Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Read the government guidance ↗

Taplow conservation area

Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.

Council document ↗

Tree preservation order

Consent is needed before work on protected trees.

Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

Registered park or garden 43 m away: Berry Hill

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic England ↗

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

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

Also on the record

SSSI 226 m away: South Lodge Pit SSSI; Radon affected area, class 2; 1 listed building within 150 m; Scheduled monument 245 m away: Saxon barrow, church and cemeteries in the old churchyard at Taplow Court; Inside the Taplow built-up area; Priority habitat 39 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected
