Site constraints 6

Ramsar wetland: Midland Meres & Mosses - Phase 1

Internationally or nationally protected for its wildlife. A habitats assessment is needed.

Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.

SSSI: Fenemere SSSI

Natural England must be consulted on work that may affect it.

Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea

High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Flood map ↗

Habitat network: Priority Rivers

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

Nature improvement area: Meres and Mosses; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England 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.
