Site constraints 7

2 Article 4 directions
East Sussex (Fairlight, Pett and Icklesham) Direction, 1965 · East Sussex (Battle Rural District) Direction, 1959. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Local nature reserve 63 m away: Hastings Country Park
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: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
National landscape 23 m away: High Weald
Outside the landscape; its setting can still be raised.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
SSSI 149 m away: Hastings Cliffs to Pett Beach SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Eastbourne to Rye Harbour 23 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Also on the record
Inside the Fairlight built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
