Site constraints 5

Public footpath about 8 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.
Conservation area about 20 m away: Keynsham
The edge of the area; work outside it can still affect its setting.
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.

Heritage at risk about 20 m away: Keynsham; Inside the Keynsham built-up area; Green belt about 24 m away: Bath and Bristol.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
