Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; SSSI 371 m away: Linton Quarry SSSI; Inside the Gorsley Common built-up area; Priority habitat 45 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.
