Site constraints 9

Special protection area 225 m away: Morecambe Bay and Duddon Estuary
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.
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
2 listed buildings within 150 m; SSSI 226 m away: Morecambe Bay SSSI; Radon affected area, class 2; Nature improvement area: Morecambe Bay Limestones and Wetlands; National infrastructure project 1676 m away: Heysham to M6 Link Road; Inside the Bolton-le-Sands built-up area; 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
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
