The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.

Public footpath 15 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; National infrastructure project 1466 m away: East Anglia THREE Offshore Wind Farm; Inside the Woodbridge built-up area; Priority habitat 12 m away: Deciduous woodland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
