Site constraints 8

Special protection area 227 m away: Sefton Coast
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
SSSI 227 m away: Sefton Coast SSSI; 1 listed building within 150 m; National infrastructure project: East Irish Sea Transmission Project, at pre-application; Scheduled monument 215 m away: Hightown Cross on Alt Road, 60m south east of Hightown Station; Inside the Hightown (Sefton) built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 5, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 22 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, 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.
