Site constraints 5

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar
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.
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
Nature recovery project: Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN); National infrastructure project about 460 m away: East Coast Hydrogen Teesside Pipeline, at pre-application; Inside the Hartlepool built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 19 October 2026.

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