Site constraints 9

Article 4 direction

Immediate Article 4 Direction for small Houses in Multiple Occupation. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.

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

1 listed building within 150 m; Radon affected area, class 4; Coalfield, development low risk area; Green belt 12 m away: Merseyside and Greater Manchester; Inside the Rawtenstall built-up area; Priority habitat 12 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
