Site constraints 3

2 Article 4 directions
Halton Borough Council Article 4 - 1 · Halton Borough Council Article 4 - A4D_1. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
National infrastructure project 402 m away: Keuper Gas Storage Project
The site is 402 m from the project boundary. Underground gas storage, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Frodsham Solar (awaiting the Secretary of State's decision, 1885 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.
