Site constraints 8

Public footpath 28 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m; Special protection area 389 m away: Broadland; SSSI 389 m away: Barnby Broad & Marshes SSSI; National park 388 m away: The Broads; Inside the Barnby and North Cove built-up area; Priority habitat 13 m away: Good quality semi improved grassland; 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. 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.
