Redcar and Cleveland includes areas classed as Open Countryside, generally encompassing land beyond settlements and Green Belt zones, often used for agriculture or left as natural landscapes. Development in these areas is tightly controlled, with standard residential proposals rarely permitted.
Redcar and Cleveland features the Cleveland Hills, Saltburn and Loftus countryside, and coastal rural areas, all highly sensitive to building.
One of the top reasons poorly prepared proposals in the Open Countryside are refused is that they fail to demonstrate a policy-supported need. To minimise that risk with bespoke advice contact us here.
Nutrient Neutrality ensures new developments do not increase harmful nitrogen or phosphorus levels in sensitive waterways. Redcar and Cleveland sits within the Teesmouth designated sensitive catchment; nitrogen neutrality is required for all new residential development, with the coastal location directly adjacent to the protected Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar site. Unfortunately, Nutrient Neutrality can halt development completely. If you need early-stage, project-specific advice contact us here.
