Site constraints 3

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Aspley Guise built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
