Site constraints 7

Local nature reserve 71 m away: East Pit (Map to Be Verified)

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
