Site constraints 9

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 ↗
Priority habitat: Deciduous woodland
A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.
Also on the record
Nature recovery project: Bradford and South Pennines; Radon affected area, class 4; National infrastructure project: Calderdale Energy Park, at pre-application; Coalfield, development low risk area; Green belt 14 m away: South and West Yorkshire; Inside the Wilsden built-up area; 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
No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
