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.

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
Inside the Rochester built-up area; Air quality management area 76 m away: Central Medway AQMA.

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