Site constraints 7

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Parrett Catchment

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.

Public footpath 9 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.

Conservation area 5 m away: Crewkerne

The edge of the area; work outside it can still affect its setting.

The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
