Site constraints 5

Article 4 direction
Watling. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Local nature reserve 267 m away: Darland Banks
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Gillingham (Medway) built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
