Site constraints 9

In flood zones plus climate change

Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From the sea. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.

National infrastructure project about 33 m away: Richborough Connection Project

The site is about 33 m from the project boundary. Electricity line, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Thanet Extension Offshore Wind Farm (decided, about 79 m); Sea Link (awaiting the Secretary of State's decision, about 931 m).

Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Planning Inspectorate project page ↗

Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ

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

Special protection area about 236 m away: Thanet Coast & Sandwich Bay

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.

Also on the record

SSSI about 236 m away: Sandwich Bay to Hacklinge Marshes SSSI; Flood defence about 17 m from the postcode pin (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Cliffs End built-up area; Priority habitat about 16 m away: Mudflats.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
