Site constraints 10

Sand Bay to Brean Down across the site

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

Public footpath 12 m away

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.

Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.

Special area of conservation 16 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.

SSSI 16 m away: Spring Cove Cliffs 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.

Scheduled monument 89 m away: Worlebury Camp, a large multivallate hillfort and the linear earthworks to the east

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.

Historic England ↗

Habitat network: Maritime cliff and slope

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.

Also on the record

Priority habitat 8 m away: Maritime cliff and slope; Inside the Weston-super-Mare built-up area; Heritage at risk 89 m away: Worlebury Camp: a large multivallate hillfort on Worlebury Hill.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
