Site constraints 5

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. 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 320 m away: Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (FM2) Power Station

The site is about 320 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Knottingley Power Project (decided, about 1733 m); Ferrybridge Next Generation Power Station (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary); Ferrybridge Carbon Capture and Storage (at pre-application, about 483 m); East Coast Hydrogen Humber Pipeline (at pre-application, about 484 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.

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.

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