Site constraints 6

National infrastructure project 677 m away: London Luton Airport Expansion
The site is 677 m from the project boundary. Airport, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
