Site constraints 8

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 Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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
Radon affected area, class 3; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Rawtenstall built-up area; Flood defence 48 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Priority habitat 47 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 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
