Site constraints 7

Public footpath 20 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.
Also on the record
Nature recovery project: Bradford and South Pennines; Radon affected area, class 4; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Bingley built-up area; Priority habitat 12 m away: Deciduous woodland; National infrastructure project 1110 m away: Calderdale Energy Park, at pre-application.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
