Site constraints 6

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2

Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; National infrastructure project about 1910 m away: M4 Junctions 3 to 12 Smart Motorway; Inside the Arborfield built-up area; Priority habitat about 50 m away: No main habitat but additional habitats present; 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 14 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.
