Site constraints 5

Air quality management area: Sandwell AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
Recorded mine shaft 24 m away
Reference 399290-048. Building over or close to a mine entry should be avoided, even once it is capped.
From the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority. The development high risk area marks recorded coal mining features at or near the surface: mine shafts and adits, shallow workings, mine gas and former opencast sites. Most planning applications there need a coal mining risk assessment; householder applications, changes of use and some minor works are exempt. Mine entry positions come from old plans and can be out by several metres, and unrecorded workings can exist anywhere in the coalfield.

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
