Site constraints 6

Tree preservation order: Land To The Rear Of Nore Park Drive, Portishead
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Special area of conservation 184 m away: Severn Estuary
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.
SSSI 158 m away: Portishead Pier to Black Nore 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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Portishead built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
