Site constraints 9

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar

New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.

Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.

Newport Bridge to North Gare across the site

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.

In flood zones plus climate change

Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From the sea. Defences are not counted.

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 ↗

National infrastructure project about 109 m away: Lighthouse Green Fuels Project

The site is about 109 m from the project boundary. Generating station, application submitted. Also within 2 km: The Net Zero Teesside Project (decided, about 713 m); East Coast Hydrogen Teesside Pipeline (at pre-application, about 649 m); H2NorthEast (H2NE) (at pre-application, about 812 m); Lighthouse Green Fuels Project (DISCONTINUED) (withdrawn, the site is inside its boundary); H2Teesside (withdrawn, about 99 m).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.

Planning Inspectorate project page ↗

Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone

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

Also on the record

Nature recovery project: Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN); Special protection area about 457 m away: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast; SSSI about 457 m away: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SSSI; Inside the Middlesbrough built-up area.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
