What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.
- Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, priority habitats, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments, and the predicted agricultural land grade.
- London Plan. For a London site, site allocations, Metropolitan Open Land, nature conservation sites, protected vistas, the Central Activities Zone, Opportunity Areas, town centres, industrial land and Air Quality Focus Areas, from the Greater London Authority.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site, and in London TfL’s PTAL across the red line.
