Site constraints 21

Water Supply and WasteArea of special control for advertsRisk of Flooding from Surface WaterPrevious planning applicationsAncient semi-natural woodland (or within 500m of)Broadleaved woodland zoneSection 3 woodlandSection 3 moorland mapMineral Safeguarding AreaNutrient Neutrality Catchment
Ancient woodland: Mossmire Coppice
Irreplaceable habitat. Standing advice asks for a 15 m buffer from the boundary.
National policy refuses development that would cause loss or deterioration of ancient woodland or ancient trees unless there are wholly exceptional reasons.
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Derwent & Bassenthwaite Lake SAC
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.
Lake District National Park
The park authority decides applications here. Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.
World heritage site: The English Lake District
Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.
Historic England ↗
Special area of conservation 16 m away: Lake District High Fells
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.
SSSI 16 m away: Armboth Fells SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Habitat network: Ancient Semi Natural Woodland
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
