Also on the record
4 listed buildings within 150 m; Conservation area 73 m away: Soulbury; Inside the Soulbury built-up area; National infrastructure project 1104 m away: The Grand Union Canal Transfer, at pre-application; 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.

Checked on 6 October 2026. 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.
