Site constraints 3

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
Inside the Milford (Amber Valley) built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
