Site constraints 10

Grade II listed: Lenwade Mills
List entry 1076863 · 10 m away · 4 more listed buildings within 150 m (4 Grade II)
Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
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.
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 ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wensum SAC
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.
Special area of conservation 20 m away: River Wensum
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.
SSSI 20 m away: River Wensum SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Habitat network: Restorable Habitat
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Flood defence 9 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 10 year flood); National infrastructure project 1934 m away: Hornsea Project Three Offshore Wind Farm; Inside the Lenwade built-up area; Priority habitat 12 m away: No main habitat but additional habitats present.
Not affected
