Site constraints 10

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Stodmarsh SAC/SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
the Tyler Hill Conservation Area. Registered 27.03.1995 conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Article 4 direction
Canterbury and surrounding area. Dated 25.02.2015 effective 25.02.2016. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Public footpath 14 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.
SSSI 117 m away: West Blean and Thornden Woods SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Also on the record
Local nature reserve 380 m away: Tyler Hill Meadow; Tree preservation order 8 m away: Hckington Road Hackington CT2 9NQ; 2 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Tyler Hill built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
