This area is flood zone 1
Flood Risk Areas refer to the probability of flooding occurring on a site from sea and rivers.
Inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding should be avoided by directing development away from areas at highest risk (whether existing or future).
Flood zone 1 - land with a low probability of flooding from rivers or the sea
Flood zone 2 – land with a medium probability of flooding
Flood zones 3a & 3b – land with a high probability of flooding
Surface water flooding from rainfall events at differing intensities and frequencies is also a flood risk consideration.
Where appropriate, applications should be supported by a site-specific flood risk assessment. These areas are:

This is a conservation area
Conservation Areas are a material consideration when local authorities consider planning applications. Conservation areas are designated areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which should be preserved and/or enhanced. They may also include other heritage assets including listed buildings, registered parks and gardens, locally listed buildings, parks and gardens, scheduled monuments and registered battlefields.
Government planning policy requires that development should conserve and enhance heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance. Development should enhance or better reveal the significance of conservation areas.
Development outside a conservation area may affect its setting. Any development which affects the setting of a conservation area should be assessed in the same manner as development within the conservation area.
Applications for planning permission must be supported by a heritage statement.
There are special provisions for trees in Conservation Areas.

This area has listed buildings
Listed buildings are statutorily designated heritage assets. They are buildings of special architectural or historic interest. Listed buildings are a material consideration when a local planning authority is considering an application for planning permission. Works to a listed building will require listed building consent in addition to those works which require planning permission.
The National Planning Policy Framework requires that development should conserve and enhance heritage assets in a manner appropriate to their significance. Development should enhance or better reveal the significance of listed buildings.
Development adjacent to a listed building may affect its setting. Any development which affects the setting of a listed building should be assessed in the same manner as development which affects the listed building.
Applications for planning permission must be supported by a heritage statement.

This is an air quality management area
Local authorities are required to monitor, assess and act to improve local air quality by means of Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs), in locations where national air quality objectives are not likely to be achieved, and put together an action plan of measures to address the problem.
The Brownfield Sites tool indicates the areas which have been declared an AQMA, based on the Gateshead Air Quality Annual Status Report.
Development that could increase air pollution to higher than the National Air Quality Objective thresholds, or leads to an increase in exposure where high levels of air pollution already exist, will only be permitted where it can be demonstrated, through an air quality assessment, that acceptable air quality will, or can be, achieved.
