Site constraints 7

Local nature reserve 157 m away: Gunton Warren and Corton Woods

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: Other Priority Habitats -NEX

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

Also on the record

National infrastructure project 79 m away: Suffolk Water Recycling Transfer and Storage, at pre-application; Priority habitat 2 m away: Deciduous woodland; SSSI 473 m away: Corton Cliffs SSSI; Inside the Lowestoft built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building 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.
