Site constraints 6

Article 4 direction
City Wide Hmo. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Tree preservation order: The Birmingham (Land Adjacent to Queen Elizabeth Psychiactric Hospital Vincent Drive/Wolfson Drive, Edgbaston) Tpo 1995
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Air quality management area: Birmingham AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
