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.

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.

I would offer the following comments in respect of question 28 to Chapter 17 of the VCHAP relating to the Rejected Site in Hales and Heckingham, Langley with Hardley, Carleton St Peter, Claxton, Raveningham and Sisland should it be allocated instead of, or in addition to, the preferred sites as a result of the consultation process.
