Site constraints 7

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Poole Harbour SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Also on the record
Special area of conservation 366 m away: Poole Harbour; Nature improvement area: Wild Purbeck; SSSI 340 m away: Poole Harbour SSSI; Inside the Upton (Dorset) built-up area; Priority habitat 22 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 5, 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 listed building at the site
