Site constraints 8

Dorset 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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI 194 m away: Chesil & The Fleet 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
5 listed buildings within 150 m; Special area of conservation 325 m away: Sidmouth to West Bay; Radon affected area, class 4; Inside the Lyme Regis built-up area; Heritage coast 98 m away: West Dorset.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
