Site constraints 8

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Brue Catchment
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Wells conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Council document ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
National landscape 156 m away: Mendip Hills; 18 listed buildings within 150 m; National nature reserve 388 m away: Mendip; Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Wells built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
