Site constraints 5

Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
National infrastructure project: East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements, at pre-application; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Brogborough 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.
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.

Any other consent or approval which is necessary must be obtained from the appropriate authority. 3 )The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled. The Equality Act 2010 requires that service providers must think ahead and make reasonable adjustments to address barriers that impede disabled people. These requirements are as follows: Where a provision, criterion or practice puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to take reasonable steps to avoid that disadvantage; Where a physical feature puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to avoid that disadvantage or adopt a reasonable alternative method of providing the service or exercising the function; Where not providing an auxiliary aid puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to provide that auxiliary aid. In doing this, it is a good idea to consider the range of disabilities that your actual or potential service users might have. You should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service, as this may make it too late to make the necessary adjustment.
