Also on the record
Inside the Aughton built-up area; Green belt 24 m away: Merseyside and Greater Manchester; the 1970s provisional farmland map had this area as grade 1, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England 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.
