Site constraints 10

Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wensum SAC
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Scheduled monument 112 m away: Drayton Lodge
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic England ↗
Also on the record
National infrastructure project 1120 m away: Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR); Special area of conservation 396 m away: River Wensum; SSSI 396 m away: River Wensum SSSI; Tree preservation order 11 m away: The Broadland District Council Tree Preservation Order Drayton 2011 No.42; 1 listed building within 150 m; Inside the Taverham and Drayton built-up area; Priority habitat 19 m away: Deciduous woodland; 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.
