Site constraints 5

Article 4 direction
Whole District excluding the Town of Chesham - Poultry production.. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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
Radon affected area, class 2; Tree preservation order 13 m away: The Amersham Rural District Council (Nightingales Cottage, Little Chalfont) Tree Preservation Order; Inside the Little Chalfont built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
