Site constraints 7

Heliport CAA Height Restrictions
Air quality management area: Wandsworth AQMA
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.

Council record ↗
National infrastructure project 219 m away: Thames Tideway Tunnel
The site is 219 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
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.
