Why these rules

Urban logistics developers look for 3 to 25 acres on main routes in or at the edge of towns (Chancerygate requirements); within 250 m of a built-up area counts as the edge of a town, and busier roads rank higher. National policy plans for last mile deliveries (NPPF, August 2026, E1(1)(c)(ii)).

Housing estates and villages are left out (at most 10 addresses a hectare and 50 in all): 95% of housing sites have more than 11 a hectare and half of industrial sites under 5.

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. Woodland is left out.
