Site constraints 7

Tree preservation order: WIMPOLE Miterdale Farm
Consent is needed before work on protected trees.
Not every council has published its orders as open data, so no order shown is not proof there is none.
Scheduled monument 73 m away: Arrington Bridge Romano-British site
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
3 listed buildings within 150 m; Registered park or garden 221 m away: Wimpole Hall; Heritage at risk 73 m away: Arrington Bridge Romano-British site; Priority habitat 7 m away: Deciduous woodland; 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.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 6 October 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.
