Site constraints 7

Tree preservation order
Public footpath 20 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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Tree preservation orderCouncil record
Recorded by the council for this site.
Council site ↗

National landscape 295 m away: Surrey Hills; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Dorking built-up area; Green belt 50 m away: London.

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
