Site constraints 7

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 ↗

Otterham Creek to Stoke Marshes across the site

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.

Ramsar wetland 174 m away: Medway Estuary & Marshes

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 1

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

SSSI 173 m away: Tower Hill to Cockham Wood 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

Nature improvement area: Greater Thames Marshes; Inside the Kingsnorth (Medway) built-up area.

Not affected

Not green belt · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
