Statutory Plant Health Notices nearby
Notices are ordered with polygons covering the application grid-reference point first, followed by the nearest notices with current ones prioritised. Distances are measured to the notice boundary. A nearby notice does not by itself mean that it applies to the site.

Sites of Special Scientific Interest nearby
Proximity is measured from the application grid-reference point to the official SSSI boundary. It does not prove that the wider application or property overlaps the designation; check the official maps before relying on it.
