SN4014 - Land to east of Common Road and south of Beccles Road, Burgh St Peter
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.

Part of the site is adjacent to the Aldeby Busines Park and Grebe Coaches which have the potential to have a negative impact on the amenity of the residents of any dwellings constructed on the site due to noise, dust, odour, artificial light, etc. In addition, placing sensitive receptors close to these business could impact there future viability. It is therefore considered that this will need to be addressed as part of any application for dwellings on this site.

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, then an alternative condition could be attached to any approval requiring its implementation.
