Site constraints 8

Green belt: Birmingham

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.

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 394 m away: South Staffordshire Railway Walk; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Wombourne built-up area; Priority habitat 29 m away: Deciduous woodland; Tree preservation order 29 m away: Land On The East Side Of Orton Lane, Wombourne, Staffordshire; 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 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 19 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
