Site constraints 3

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.

Protected tree 10 m away: South Bucks District Council Tree preservation Order No.10, 2005. Dated 21/4/05. Confirmed 30/6/05., order TPO/SBDC/2005/10

2 protected trees within 15 m. Named in a tree preservation order: work to it, its roots included, needs the council's consent first.

Root protection areas reach up to 15 m from a large tree, so an extension or new foundations this close usually needs a tree survey. Only some councils publish their single trees, and a position can be approximate: the order at the council is the definitive record, and no tree shown is not proof there is none.
