Site constraints 5

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
National park 9 m away: The Broads
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
Inside the Bungay built-up area; Priority habitat 48 m away: Coastal and floodplain grazing marsh; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, 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 listed building at the site

Checked on 29 September 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.
