Site constraints 9

Green belt: South and West Yorkshire
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.
Read the government guidance ↗
Public footpath 12 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
1 listed building within 150 m
Nearest: The Cottage, Grade II, 43 m away
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Scheduled monument 176 m away: Facade of Bridge Chapel in grounds of Kettlethorpe Hall; Radon affected area, class 4; Coalfield, development low risk area; Local nature reserve 500 m away: Newmillerdam; Inside the Wakefield built-up area; Priority habitat 30 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3
