Site constraints 2

National infrastructure project about 93 m away: The Sizewell C Project
The site is about 93 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: East Anglia ONE North Offshore Windfarm (decided, about 686 m); East Anglia TWO Offshore Windfarm (decided, about 686 m); Galloper Offshore Wind Farm (decided, about 1135 m); Suffolk Water Recycling Transfer and Storage (at pre-application, about 1579 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.

Checked on 9 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
