Site constraints 3

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Brue Catchment

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.

Agricultural land, grade 4, surveyed

Poor quality farmland, not best and most versatile. Source: Natural England's post-1988 ALC field survey (Bristol). Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3; the survey is the definitive reading.

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.
