What this site sits on
The recorded coordinate falls on land surveyed as Urban agricultural land.
- Nutrient-neutrality catchment — Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast SPA/Ramsar
REPD gives one representative coordinate per scheme, not the site boundary, so this describes the point on record rather than the whole site — a large site can straddle a designation edge. Boundaries come from planning.data.gov.uk, which publishes for England only.
