Site constraints 14

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.
Flood map ↗
Folkestone to Ramsgate across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
Scheduled monument about 103 m away: Sandwich town walls: section from a point E of gasworks to site of New Gate (including The Bulwark and Mill Wall)
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
National infrastructure project about 746 m away: Richborough Connection Project
The site is about 746 m from the project boundary. Electricity line, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Sea Link (awaiting the Secretary of State's decision, about 1561 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.
Planning Inspectorate project page ↗
Special protection area about 297 m away: Sandwich Bay
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.
Also on the record
Conservation area about 33 m away: Sandwich - Walled Town; Registered park or garden about 128 m away: The Salutation, Sandwich; 19 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; SSSI about 297 m away: Sandwich Bay to Hacklinge Marshes SSSI; Flood defence about 19 m from the postcode pin (wall, designed for a 1 in 200 year flood); Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the Sandwich built-up area; Priority habitat about 33 m away: Mudflats.

Not green belt

Checked on 27 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Mining Remediation Authority, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
