With regard to site SN 3008 Rev which I represent, although rejected at the current proposed size of development the feedback was generally positive towards the site being considered as a smaller development of up to 12 dwellings. Therefore I would ask that this site be reconsidered as a smaller windfall site which could be achieved by incorporating within a slightly extended village envelope. The site was originally proposed as a smaller site but we were advised that sites which could accommodate larger scale development would be preferential.

Council has two points of concern which we felt the need to address, as landowners:
It is 5-8 minutes by car to the local school. Those living adjacent to land and doing school drop-offs would be driving away from the school and not adding to congestion.
Prohibitive cost of housing has vastly altered the demographics of those who can afford to buy 'family-size' homes. Re. location, properties here could cater for those who need to be near A140 / A11, and also to commute using train (e.g. from Diss).
Believe that the land has not flooded in 40 years. A water course runs beneath, but drainage is good and a ditch could be put in if needed.

I am writing on behalf of Saffron Housing Trust to express our support for this site for residential development being promoted by ESCO Developments Ltd. We believe this is a site that could come forward in association with our company in terms of delivering sustainable development in line with the emerging draft Greater Norwich Local Plan.
We believe that we have sufficient capacity to ensure that we can assist in bringing forward this site for development. Currently, we have programmed this site to come forward in our build programme within our current 3 year development strategy – the fact that the site is in our core area of operation (South Norfolk Council), this brings a general support from our Board as I am sure you will appreciate.
We believe that the site, as described in the ESCO proposals, is viable and would contribute to resolving the housing need in the area. We are aware of the emerging policy requirements from the draft Local Plan and are confident that these can be met and the proposed development delivered in a cost effective manner. We will show how the development will be low carbon and contribute to the Local Plan’s objectives.

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.

The site is adjacent to a commercial vehicle repair garage which has a potential to have a negative impact on the amenity of the residents of any dwellings constructed on the site due to noise and odour/fumes. In addition, placing sensitive receptors close to this business cold impact its future viability. It is therefore considered that this will need to be addressed as part of any application for dwellings on this site.

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.

* 1.0% AEP Event [Extent]: No flooding present
* 1.0% AEP Event [Depth]: No flooding present.
* 0.1% AEP Event [Extent]: Moderate flooding
* 0.1% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00- 0.30cm.
2.] Internal & external flooding?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~500.00m): No
3.] Watercourses [Online ordinary watercourses or mains rivers]?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~100.00m): No
4.] Surface water sewer systems?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~100.00m): No
5.] Source Protection Zone?: Source Protection Zone 3
6.] Internal Drainage Board?: No IDB referenced
7.] The site predominantly has superficial deposits of DIAMICTON. Comments on infiltration potential are dependent on a complete geotechnical investigation, including BRE365 Soakaway Testing. Where possible, surface water infiltration should be utilised." "Flood risk in 0.1% AEP event is moderate ponding. This can be mitigated through application of appropriate engineering methods. We advise this must be considered in the site assessment.
The site is adjacent to a flow path. We advise this must be considered in the site assessment."

Rating: Green no major ecological constraints identified from desk-top search. Surveys, and biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy required.
The allocation site is located along the northern edge of an arable field. A search of MAGIC reveals, except for hedges, no priority habitats onsite. The northern boundary is boarded by a hedge (priority habitat) which appears on the first OS map and may qualify as important under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997. Breaches to, or loss of hedge should be kept to a minimum and compensation provided (consideration should be given to siting any footpath to the south of the hedge to avoid impacts). The site is in a SSSI impact zone but 'residential' is not listed in the trigger list for consultation with Natural England. The site is not located in a strategic GI corridor but net gains for biodiversity should be provided. The site is in the Amber zone for District Level Licensing. Applications for planning consent should be accompanied by a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal/Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) which should inform the design.
