Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project 759 m away: A19 Downhill Lane Junction Improvement
The site is 759 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: A19 / A184 Testos Junction Improvement (decided, 1195 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
