Site constraints 9

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.
Filey Brigg to Newport Bridge 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.

National infrastructure project about 509 m away: Lighthouse Green Fuels Project
The site is about 509 m from the project boundary. Generating station, application submitted. Also within 2 km: The Net Zero Teesside Project (decided, about 844 m); York Potash Harbour Facilities Order (decided, about 1594 m); East Coast Hydrogen Teesside Pipeline (at pre-application, about 700 m); H2NorthEast (H2NE) (at pre-application, about 1185 m); Lighthouse Green Fuels Project (DISCONTINUED) (withdrawn, about 593 m); H2Teesside (withdrawn, about 843 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Special protection area about 276 m away: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast
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.
Also on the record
SSSI about 276 m away: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SSSI; Nature recovery project: Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN); Inside the Grangetown built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
