Site constraints 4

The Brampton conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

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.

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
