Site constraints 5

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.

Article 4 direction
Rother District Council (Houses in Multiple Occupation, Bexhill, East Sussex) Article 4 Direction, 2011. Named permitted development rights are withdrawn here.
An Article 4 direction withdraws particular permitted development rights, so work that would normally need no application needs one here. Not every council has published its directions.
Special protection area about 100 m away: Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay
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.
Also on the record
Conservation area about 75 m away: Bexhill Town Centre; Inside the Bexhill-on-Sea built-up area.
Not affected
Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 24 October 2026.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
