Site constraints 6

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.
Flood map ↗
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
Special protection area 340 m away: Crouch & Roach Estuaries (Mid-Essex Coast Phase 3); SSSI 340 m away: The Cliff, Burnham-on-Crouch SSSI; Inside the North Fambridge built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
