Tree preservation order
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.

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.
Also on the record
SSSI 216 m away: Sefton Coast SSSI; National infrastructure project 441 m away: East Irish Sea Transmission Project, at pre-application; Inside the Formby built-up area.
Not affected
