SN1042: Land at Church Road, Aslacton
The Environmental Protection Team is aware that historic ordnance survey maps show this site once included a sizeable pond that has been historically filled with an unknown material. Having regard to this along with the size of the site and sensitivity of the proposed development it is considered that a Detailed Land Contamination Report (Phase One and Phase Two) should be required as part of any planning application.

Due to the size of this development and its proximity to existing dwellings, an application to develop this site is likely to attract the recommendation that standard planning condition AM05 Construction Management Plan be attached to any approval. It may be worth highlighting to applicants that to avoid any delay in discharging this condition, they may wish to include a Construction Management Plan with their application. If the submitted Construction Management Plan is adequate, the an alternative condition could be attached to any approval requiring its implementation.
