Site constraints 6

Article 4 direction
Small Houses in Multiple Occupation Article 4. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Archaeological priority area
An assessment or field evaluation may be asked for before ground works.
The council or Historic England considers archaeology likely here. A desk-based assessment, and sometimes trial trenching, can be asked for with the application.
Local nature reserve about 227 m away: Downham Woodland Walk
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
Inside the Lewisham built-up area; Public transport access: PTAL 2 (poor), TfL 2023, for the 100 m square; Air quality management area about 72 m away: Lewisham AQMA.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
