Site constraints 7

Special protection area 121 m away: Morecambe Bay and Duddon 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.
Radon affected area, class 5
An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
UKHSA radon ↗
SSSI 124 m away: Morecambe Bay 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
Conservation area 27 m away: Grange over Sands; Nature improvement area: Morecambe Bay Limestones and Wetlands; Inside the Grange-over-Sands built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
