Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Conservation area 24 m away: Sutton; 3 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Sutton (East Cambridgeshire) built-up area; Priority habitat 9 m away: Traditional orchard; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
