Site constraints 6

World heritage site about 9 m away: North and South Marine Parks and Bents Park

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic England ↗

Habitat network: Other Priority Habitats - NEZ

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

Also on the record

Scheduled monument about 182 m away: Roman fort, South Shields; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; SSSI about 472 m away: Northumberland Shore SSSI; Priority habitat about 9 m away: Deciduous woodland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 20 September 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. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
