Where in Norfolk is the affected area and what are the controls?

Just googled and see it’s on the broads at Cantley.

We're 9.5km from Cantley (I now know!) and we have sheep and my largest bit of stalking is in the zone.

Crossing fingers that it is all contained.

I would imagine the controls will be to restrict livestock movements.
