Site constraints 6

Tree preservation order: Leelands, Grams Road, Walmer.
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.
Radon affected area, class 6
An estimated 30% or more of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
UKHSA radon ↗
Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Deal built-up area; Conservation area 94 m away: Walmer - Upper Walmer.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
