Site constraints 8

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
Conservation area about 34 m away: Woldingham Green; Radon affected area, class 3; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; SSSI about 415 m away: Woldingham & Oxted Downs SSSI; Inside the Woldingham built-up area; Green belt about 27 m away: London; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

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