Article 4 Direction relating to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HIMO) - Non immediate direction · Article 4 Direction relating to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HIMO) - Immediate direction. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.

An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.

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.

Also on the record

Conservation area about 35 m away: Great Linford; Radon affected area, class 2; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; National infrastructure project about 545 m away: The Grand Union Canal Transfer, at pre-application; Inside the Milton Keynes built-up area; 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.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026.
