Site constraints 12

Shoreham to Eastbourne across the site

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.

In flood zones plus climate change

Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From the sea. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.

Flood map ↗

Local nature reserve 44 m away: Castle Hill, Newhaven

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.

Scheduled monument 54 m away: Newhaven military fort and lunette battery

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.

Historic England ↗

SSSI 20 m away: Brighton to Newhaven Cliffs 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.

Radon affected area, class 5

An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.

From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.

Also on the record

Public footpath 30 m away; Heritage at risk 54 m away: Newhaven Fort; Caponier, Fort Road; Inside the Newhaven built-up area; Flood defence 38 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 100 year flood); Priority habitat 23 m away: Maritime cliff and slope.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 13 October 2026.
