Site constraints 9

Local nature reserve 12 m away: Hartlebury Common/Hillditch Pool
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
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.
SSSI 23 m away: Hartlebury Common and Hillditch Coppice SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
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
Radon affected area, class 2; Green belt 10 m away: Birmingham; Inside the Lower Heath built-up area; Open access land 10 m away: Access Land - Combined Open Country, Registered Common Land and Section 16 Dedicated Land. MoD Byelaw, Section 28 Exclusions, Racecourses and Aerodromes and ECP Margin have been removed.; Priority habitat 28 m away: Lowland heathland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
