Site constraints 7

Kessingland to Lowestoft across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Public footpath 22 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
SSSI 40 m away: Pakefield to Easton Bavents 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: 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
Special area of conservation 328 m away: Southern North Sea; Inside the Kessingland built-up area; Priority habitat 21 m away: Maritime cliff and slope.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
