Also on the record
National infrastructure project 697 m away: Suffolk Water Recycling Transfer and Storage, at pre-application; Inside the Peasenhall built-up area; 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.
