Site constraints 6

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.
Priority habitat: Deciduous woodland
A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.
Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
SSSI 211 m away: Wouldham to Detling Escarpment SSSI; Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Kit's Coty built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
