Respondent: Hempnall Parish Council

Hempnall Parish Council objects to the inclusion of this site as a preferred site in the South Norfolk Village Clusters Housing Allocations Preferred Sites Plan. This is because we object to the Village Cluster concept (as explained in our answer to question 1) and because we consider that the current level of development we expect to take place in our village is the right amount - allowing organic growth but avoiding the need to "cement on" additional housing estates which breach the current settlement limit.

SN1015 – Land adjacent to the primary school, The Street
Outside the IDD boundary, within the Norfolk Rivers IDB watershed catchment.
Major development - If surface water discharges within the watershed catchment of the Board's IDD, we request that this discharge is facilitated in line with the Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).

Site: SN1015, Land adjacent to the primary school, The Street
The site is located almost entirely within the Hempnall Conservation Area. It lies opposite two grade II listed buildings, Lime Tree Cottage, and Pevensey House and close to a third grade II listed building, the Hollies. Therefore, any development of this site has the potential to impact upon the significance of these heritage assets.
A heritage impact assessment of the site should be undertaken to assess the impact of the proposed development on the listed buildings and conservation area and determine if allocation of this site is appropriate, and if it is what mitigation may be required. The findings of the HIA should inform whether the site is allocated and if it is, the policy criterion including any mitigation and enhancement.
Complete an HIA to inform the allocation of the site including any mitigation, enhancement and policy wording.

Few or no constraints. Standard information required at a planning stage.
"1.] At risk of surface water flooding?: Yes
* 3.33% AEP Event [Extent]: No flooding present
* 3.33% AEP Event [Depth]: No flooding present.
* 1.0% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding
* 1.0% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.30cm.
* 0.1% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding|Moderate flooding
* 0.1% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.60cm.
2.] Internal & external flooding?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~500.00m): Yes - Internal Flooding|Yes - External Flooding
3.] Watercourses [Online ordinary watercourses or mains rivers]?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~100.00m): Yes|Main river|Yes|Ordinary Watercourse
4.] Surface water sewer systems?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~100.00m): Yes
5.] Source Protection Zone?: Source Protection Zone 3
6.] Internal Drainage Board?: No IDB referenced
7.] The site predominantly has superficial deposits of SAND AND GRAVEL. Comments on infiltration potential are dependent on a complete geotechnical investigation, including BRE365 Soakaway Testing. Where possible, surface water infiltration should be utilised." "Part of the on-site flood risk contributes to an adjacent flow path in the 0.1% AEP event. Flow lines indicate this flood water flows southwest off of the site, contributing to a larger flow path southwest and south of the site. There is some moderate ponding present in the 0.1% AEP event in the south of the site. We advise this must be considered in the site assessment.

The site is adjacent to a flow path. This must be considered in the site assessment.

A large area of the site is unaffected by flood risk and has the potential to be developed."
Assessment: Green

Respondent: Norfolk County Council - Senior Ecologist

Rating: Green no major ecological constraints identified from desk-top search. Surveys, and biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy required.
Site comprises part of an agricultural field and a grassland area adjacent to the school. Hedges are priority habitat so losses should be minimised (use existing access), and as a last resort compensated for. No priority habitats identified (see MAGIC). Site within green/amber habitat zones for great crested newts, and in SSSI IRZ but residential development does not trigger consultation with Natural England. Applications for planning consent should be accompanied by a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal/Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) which, together with the mitigation hierarchy, should inform the design. Consideration should be given to delivering Biodiversity Net Gain. PROW Hempnall/H18/3 passes through site.
