Site constraints 5

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea

High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Flood map ↗

National infrastructure project: East Yorkshire Solar Farm

The site is inside the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Drax Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage Project (decided, the site is inside its boundary); White Rose Carbon Capture and Storage Project (decided, the site is inside its boundary); Yorkshire and Humber CCS Cross Country Pipeline (decided, the site is inside its boundary); Drax Re-power (decided, 72 m); Helios Renewable Energy Project (decided, 667 m); Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline (at pre-application, 148 m); East Coast Hydrogen Humber Pipeline (at pre-application, 1431 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.

Also on the record

Inside the Barlow built-up area; Priority habitat 42 m away: Deciduous woodland; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Not green belt · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
