Site constraints 7

Green belt: Merseyside and Greater Manchester

Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.

Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm. Some green belt land can count as grey belt, where it does not strongly serve the green belt's purposes. The council decides this in its green belt assessment or on each application, so we do not mark it here.

Read the government guidance ↗

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea

Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 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.

Flood map ↗

Priority habitat: No main habitat but additional habitats present

A habitat of principal importance. It shapes the ecology work and the biodiversity net gain a scheme has to show.

Also on the record

National infrastructure project: East Irish Sea Transmission Project, at pre-application; Inside the Formby built-up area; Flood defence 47 m away (engineered high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Not affected
