Site constraints 7

Flood zone 2Flood zone 3Spatial Flood Defences buffer = MWB u/s high groundFlood Alert Areas buffer = Middlesbrough Becks
Nutrient neutrality catchment: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Local nature reserve 117 m away: Berwick Hills
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.
