Also on the record

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No listed building at the site

Checked on 2 November 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.
