Proposal

An external black frame aluminium noticeboard, with a white magnetic backing for displaying 3 A2 posters.

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.
Also on the record

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
