Also on the record
Flood defence 24 m away (natural high ground, designed for a 1 in 5 year flood); Inside the Sevenoaks built-up area; Green belt 24 m away: London; 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
