In considering the location of development your authority should utilise our SSSI Impact Risk Zones which are a GIS dataset designed to be used during the planning application validation process to help local planning authorities decide when to consult Natural England on developments likely to affect a SSSI. The dataset and user guidance can be accessed from the data.gov.uk website.
Other considerations include environmental constraints such as:

designated sites/priority habitats
protected landscapes
Best and Most Versatile (BMV) Agricultural Land
areas at risk of flooding
brownfield sites of high environmental value
