Site constraints 5

Public footpath 24 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 2; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Hemsworth built-up area; Air quality management area 98 m away: City of Wakefield Hemsworth Air quality Management Area 2012.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
