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 ↗
Public footpath 7 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Shotley Gate to Felixstowe Ferry 5 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Habitat network: Maritime cliff and slope
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Priority habitat 3 m away: Maritime cliff and slope; Inside the Felixstowe built-up area; National landscape 498 m away: Suffolk Coast & Heaths.
Not affected
Not green belt · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
