Site constraints 9

Kent Downs National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Tree preservation order: Vigo

Consent is needed before work on protected trees.

Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.

National nature reserve about 205 m away: North Kent Woods and Downs

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.

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; SSSI about 370 m away: Halling to Trottiscliffe Escarpment SSSI; Inside the Vigo Village built-up area; Priority habitat about 27 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt about 82 m away: London.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 7 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
