Site constraints 8

Green belt: London
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.

6 Article 4 directions
9316 · 51636 · 51637 · Article_4_Direction_s__Aylesbury_Vale_.6 · 51638 · 51639. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

2 listed buildings within 150 m; Registered park or garden 152 m away: Halton House; Conservation area 56 m away: Halton; Tree preservation order 17 m away; Inside the Halton (Buckinghamshire) built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
