Site constraints 7

Article 4 direction
Article 4 Direction relating to Houses in Multiple Occupation (HIMO) - Non immediate direction. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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
National infrastructure project about 323 m away: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements, at pre-application; Inside the Woburn Sands built-up area; Tree preservation order about 23 m away; Priority habitat about 23 m away: No main habitat but additional habitats present; 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.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

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