SSSI about 479 m away: Wytham Woods SSSI; Inside the Oxford built-up area; National infrastructure project about 1601 m away: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements, at pre-application; Green belt about 85 m away: Oxford; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Checked on 1 November 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
