Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1

National infrastructure project about 790 m away: Sea Link
The site is about 790 m from the project boundary. Electricity line, awaiting the Secretary of State's decision. Also within 2 km: Richborough Connection Project (decided, about 868 m).

The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
