Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 2; Special protection area 452 m away: Stour and Orwell Estuaries; SSSI 452 m away: Orwell Estuary SSSI; Inside the Chelmondiston built-up area; 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 listed building at the site
