Site constraints 7

Article 4 direction
Whole of the London Borough of Hackney. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.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.
Designated open space
Borough-designated open space.
Loss of protected open space is resisted unless it is replaced by space of equal or better quality nearby.
Air quality management area: Hackney AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.
Council record ↗
