Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project about 776 m away: Oxfordshire Strategic Rail Freight Interchange
The site is about 776 m from the project boundary. Rail freight interchange, under examination. Also within 2 km: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements (at pre-application, about 684 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record
2 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Flood defence about 22 m from the postcode pin (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 2 year flood); Inside the Wendlebury built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, 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 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate 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.
