Site constraints 4

2 Article 4 directions
Woolmer Industrial Estate and High View Business Centre, Bordon · Enforcement Action. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
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
Local nature reserve about 326 m away: Deadwater Valley; Inside the Bordon built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
