Site constraints 5

Article 4 direction
Fort Pitt. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Public footpath 27 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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Chatham built-up area; Tree preservation order 27 m away.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
