Site constraints 8

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 236 m away: Huddersfield Narrow Canal SSSI; Radon affected area, class 2; 2 listed buildings within 150 m; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Mossley built-up area; Flood defence 40 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); 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.
