Site constraints 6

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar
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.
Filey Brigg to Newport Bridge across the site
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.
In flood zones plus climate change
Inside the extent flood zones 2 and 3 could reach with climate change: the Central allowance for the 2080s on rivers, the Upper End allowance for sea level rise to 2125. From rivers and the sea. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Councils use it to decide when a flood risk assessment and the sequential test are needed. It is indicative and does not show whether a particular property will flood.

National infrastructure project: York Potash Harbour Facilities Order
The site is inside the project boundary. Harbour, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: The Net Zero Teesside Project (decided, about 72 m); Lighthouse Green Fuels Project (application submitted, about 528 m); H2NorthEast (H2NE) (at pre-application, about 363 m); East Coast Hydrogen Teesside Pipeline (at pre-application, about 512 m); H2Teesside (withdrawn, the site is inside its boundary).
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.

Also on the record
Nature recovery project: Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN); Inside the Redcar built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, 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.
