Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1

Radon affected area, class 2; Inside the Melbourne (South Derbyshire) built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 2, 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
