Grade II listed: Court House Farmhouse
List entry 1179355 · 18 m away · 4 more listed buildings within 150 m (4 Grade II)

Historic England ↗
Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wye SAC (River Lugg SSSI)
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.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 1
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Special area of conservation 482 m away: River Wye / Afon Gwy (England); SSSI 485 m away: River Lugg SSSI; Inside the Sutton St Nicholas 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.
