Site constraints 7

Maldon to Salcott across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Maldon conservation area
Also Maldon (Addition3). 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.
Special protection area 50 m away: Blackwater Estuary (Mid-Essex Coast Phase 4)
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.
SSSI 50 m away: Blackwater Estuary SSSI
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
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
3 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Maldon built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
