Site constraints 10

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea

High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.

The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.

Flood map ↗

Newton-le-Willows conservation area

Also Willow Park. 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.

Council document ↗

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

2 listed buildings within 150 m; National infrastructure project 98 m away: Intermodal Logistics Park North, at pre-application; Coalfield, development low risk area; Flood defence 21 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Inside the Newton-le-Willows built-up area; Priority habitat 20 m away: Deciduous woodland; Green belt 69 m away: Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

Not affected

No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 15 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, 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.
