Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Guildford built-up area; Green belt 25 m away: London; Priority habitat 24 m away: Deciduous woodland; Open access land 30 m away: Access Land - Combined Open Country, Registered Common Land and Section 16 Dedicated Land. MoD Byelaw, Section 28 Exclusions, Racecourses and Aerodromes and ECP Margin have been removed.; 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

Checked on 30 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.
