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.

National infrastructure project 813 m away: Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal
The site is 813 m from the project boundary. Harbour, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Immingham Green Energy Terminal (decided, 1265 m); Viking CCS Pipeline (decided, 1281 m); Able Marine Energy Park (decided, 1388 m); Able Marine Energy Park Material Change 2 (decided, 1388 m); A160 - A180 Port of Immingham Improvement (decided, 1415 m); Stallingborough Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) generating plant and Carbon Capture Plant (CCP) (at pre-application, 300 m); H2East Pipeline: Humber to Nottinghamshire (at pre-application, 682 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
