Site constraints 6

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 ↗
National infrastructure project about 3 m away: North Killingholme Power Project
The site is about 3 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Able Marine Energy Park (decided, about 212 m); Able Marine Energy Park Material Change 2 (decided, about 212 m); Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm (Zone 4) - Project Two (decided, about 555 m); Hornsea Offshore Wind Farm (Zone 4) - Project One (decided, about 555 m); Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary); H2East Pipeline: Humber to Nottinghamshire (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary).
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.

Also on the record
Ramsar wetland about 351 m away: Humber Estuary; SSSI about 351 m away: North Killingholme Haven Pits SSSI; Inside the North Killingholme built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not green belt · No scheduled monument at 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. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, 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.
