Site constraints 8

Green belt: London

Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.

Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Local nature reserve 71 m away: Herschel Park

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.

National infrastructure project 19 m away: M4 Junctions 3 to 12 Smart Motorway

The site is 19 m from the project boundary. Highway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Expansion of Heathrow Airport (Third Runway) (at pre-application, 1927 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.

Also on the record

11 listed buildings within 150 m; Radon affected area, class 2; Conservation area 54 m away: Upton Park and Upton Village; Inside the Slough built-up area; Air quality management area 6 m away: Slough AQMA No.1.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
