Site constraints 5

Newbiggin-by-the-Sea conservation area

Council document ↗

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.
SSSI 82 m away: Northumberland Shore SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
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
Inside the Newbiggin-by-the-Sea built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
