Site constraints 7

Public footpath 9 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Local nature reserve 310 m away: Harton Down Hill
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.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; SSSI 310 m away: Harton Down Hill SSSI; Coalfield, development low risk area; Inside the South Shields built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site
