Zoning at the site
Docklands SDZ (ZD02)
Z11: Waterways Protection: To protect and improve canal, coastal and river amenities.
Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.
Z9: Amenity/Open Space Lands/Green Network: To preserve, provide and improve recreational amenity, open space and ecosystem services.
Land zoned to stay open — parks, playing fields, amenity corridors. Built development is very hard to justify, which also means the view is protected.

A small rural settlement where only modest infill serving local need is envisaged.
