Outside the park; its setting can still be raised.

Landscape, scenic beauty and wildlife carry great weight, and major development is only allowed in exceptional circumstances.

Also on the record

Not affected

Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 2 November 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 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.
