Site constraints 5

Suffolk Coast & Heaths National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Aldeburgh to Hopton on Sea across the site

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.

Heritage coast: Suffolk

A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.

Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.

Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ

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

Also on the record

the 1970s provisional farmland map had this area as grade 4, 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 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 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.
