The Housing Delivery Test result, the age of the local plan, and homes added a year against the number the council needs.
Constraints, measured on the site
The share of the site in the green belt, each flood zone, a conservation area and the other mapped constraints, each from its named source.
Planning on and around it
Ten years of planning applications on the parcel, and homes approved nearby in the last five years.

Why these rules

Within settlements, national policy (NPPF, August 2026, L2) limits new homes in a garden to twice the footprint of the existing buildings, keeping at least half the open land, unless more fits without harm to the area's character; a drive needs 3.7 m (Building Regulations). In a conservation area the council gives the area's character great weight, so it is shown as a risk on the site.

National parks and the Broads are left out: national policy refuses major development there other than in exceptional circumstances and limits the scale of the rest (NPPF, August 2026, N4); set National park to Any under Constraints to include them. A plot that is mostly hard surfaced or has a non-domestic energy certificate is a business, not a house and garden, and is left out.
