Site constraints 9

Flood zone 2Spatial Flood Defences buffer = MWB u/s high groundFlood Alert Areas buffer = Middlesbrough BecksFlood zone 3Flood Alert Areas = Middlesbrough Becks
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.
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 rivers and 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.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
