The Environmental Protection Team are not aware of any significant land quality issue with this site or adjacent land. However, having regard to the size of the site and sensitivity of the proposed development it is considered that a Phase One Land Contamination Report (Desk Study) should be required as part of any planning application.

The site is adjacent to the Norwich to London railway line including a level crossing fitted with audible alarms, which has a significant potential to have a negative impact on the amenity of the residents of any dwellings constructed on the site due to noise. It is therefore considered that this will need to be addressed as part of any application for dwellings on this site if the form of a noise assessment which demonstrates that an acceptable level of residential amenity can be provided for residents and it is practicable and affordable to do so.
