Site constraints 11

Special protection area 193 m away: Northumbria Coast
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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 193 m away: Northumberland Shore 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.
Also on the record
Conservation area 27 m away: St Mary's; Radon affected area, class 2; Heritage at risk 27 m away: St Mary's Island; 1 listed building within 150 m; Coalfield, development low risk area; Green belt 17 m away: Tyne and Wear; Inside the Seaton Sluice built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site
