Site constraints 9

Cornwall National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Penzance to St. Mawes across the site

Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site; the route and its margin are protected.

Heritage coast: The Lizard

A defined stretch of undeveloped coastline.

Development inconsistent with keeping the coast undeveloped is resisted.

Agricultural land, grade 4

Poor quality farmland, not best and most versatile. Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. A site survey can differ.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Special area of conservation 130 m away: The Lizard

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: Maritime cliff and slope

Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.

SSSI 148 m away: West Lizard 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

Radon affected area, class 2; Priority habitat 21 m away: Lowland heathland,Maritime cliff and slope.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
