Are there cliff erosion concerns for extensions in Milford?

Properties near the clifftop may need a geotechnical assessment for extensions that add significant load. The cliff is actively eroding, and the council may require demonstration that the extension will not be at risk within its design life. We identify these constraints early in the process.

Is Milford-on-Sea in the National Park?

Parts of Milford-on-Sea are within the New Forest National Park and parts are outside. The boundary runs through the village. We check your exact address to determine whether NFNPA or NFDC jurisdiction applies, as PD rights differ significantly.
