Site constraints 10

Special area of conservation: Ebernoe Common

Internationally or nationally protected for its wildlife. A habitats assessment is needed.

Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.

SSSI: Ebernoe Common SSSI

Natural England must be consulted on work that may affect it.

Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

Ancient woodland 2 m away: ebernoe common

Inside the 15 m buffer standing advice asks for from the boundary.

National policy refuses development that would cause loss or deterioration of ancient woodland or ancient trees unless there are wholly exceptional reasons.

South Downs National Park

The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.

Public footpath 3 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.

Habitat network: Ancient Semi Natural Woodland

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

Also on the record

Priority habitat 3 m away: Deciduous woodland; 1 listed building within 150 m; Open access land 1 m away: Access Land - Combined Open Country, Registered Common Land and Section 16 Dedicated Land. MoD Byelaw, Section 28 Exclusions, Racecourses and Aerodromes and ECP Margin have been removed.; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, 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 6 October 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.
