Site constraints 8

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
National infrastructure project 671 m away: M4 Junctions 3 to 12 Smart Motorway
The site is 671 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Expansion of Heathrow Airport (Third Runway) (at pre-application, 709 m).
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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
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
Registered park or garden 145 m away: The Royal Estate, Windsor: Windsor Castle and Home Park; Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Datchet built-up area; Green belt 39 m away: London; Priority habitat 48 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
