Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Registered park or garden about 166 m away: Ascot Place; Inside the North Ascot built-up area; Green belt about 36 m away: London; 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.
