Site constraints 8

Special area of conservation 24 m away: Epping Forest

Air quality management area: Redbridge 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 ↗
SSSI 24 m away: Epping Forest SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
