Site constraints 9

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
National infrastructure project 63 m away: Portishead Branch Line - MetroWest Phase 1
The site is 63 m from the project boundary. Railway, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Hinkley Point C Connection (decided, 1322 m); Hinkley Point C Connection Project Material Change (at pre-application, 1359 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: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Pill and Easton-in-Gordano built-up area; Flood defence 36 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 2 year flood); Priority habitat 34 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt 83 m away: Bath and Bristol; 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
No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026.
