Heritage coast: North Yorkshire & Cleveland
A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.
Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1

SSSI 138 m away: Robin Hood's Bay: Maw Wyke to Beast Cliff SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
