Site constraints 6

Habitat network: Traditional orchards
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 148 m away: Linton Quarry 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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Gorsley Common built-up area; Priority habitat 13 m away: Traditional orchard; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
