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 ↗
Special protection area 189 m away: Deben Estuary
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.
SSSI 189 m away: Deben Estuary 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.
Also on the record
National landscape 173 m away: Suffolk Coast & Heaths; Radon affected area, class 2; Conservation area 84 m away: Melton; Inside the Melton (East Suffolk) built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
