Site constraints 5

Public footpath 13 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.
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
Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Joyden's Wood built-up area; Green belt 91 m away: London.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
