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.

Special area of conservation 197 m away: River Dee and Bala Lake / Afon Dyfrdwy a Llyn Tegid (Wales)
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.
National infrastructure project 677 m away: HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline
The site is 677 m from the project boundary. Pipeline, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Hynet North West Hydrogen Pipeline (at pre-application, 677 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.

SSSI 197 m away: Afon Dyfrdwy (River Dee)
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.
