Site constraints 7

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Barnard Castle conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Also on the record
15 listed buildings within 150 m; Radon affected area, class 4; Registered park or garden 156 m away: Bowes Museum; National infrastructure project 1907 m away: A66 Northern Trans-Pennine Project; Inside the Barnard Castle built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
