Site constraints 8

Cornwall National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Marsland Mouth to Newquay across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Special area of conservation 125 m away: Bristol Channel Approaches / Dynesfeydd Môr Hafren
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.
Habitat network: Maritime cliff and slope
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 125 m away: Trevose Head and Constantine Bay 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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Inside the Constantine Bay built-up area; Priority habitat 12 m away: Maritime cliff and slope.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
