Site constraints 4

North Wessex Downs National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Habitat network: Wood pasture and parkland

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Public bridleway 27 m away

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.

Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.

Also on the record

Priority habitat 16 m away: Deciduous woodland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 11 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
