If Little Melton does have to be the subject of further development then it would be preferable to have a site with a small number of houses 25 or below rather than a massive development such as at Hethersett and Cringleford

As stated earlier if any development does have to be done in Little Melton despite the number of houses already being built is over the agreed number already then our preferred sites would be SN0488, SN4052 and SN3007SL provided the number of houses was kept to 25 and below on each site. Urgent action needs to be taken with regard to the infrastructure in order for these small sites to proceed ie Medical practice, traffic calming, drains etc

Few or no constraints. Standard information required at a planning stage. "1.] At risk of surface water flooding?: Yes
* 3.33% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding
* 3.33% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.60cm.
* 1.0% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding
* 1.0% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.60cm.
* 0.1% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding
* 0.1% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.90cm.
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): Yes
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."

Assessment: Green

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." "A flow path is present on-site for all AEP events. This is concentrated to the southern boundary. The on-site flood risk contributes to an off-site flow path with flow lines indicating this flood water flows east off of the site. 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.

A large area of the site is not at risk of flooding and has potential to be developed. We advise this must be considered in the site assessment.

Assessment: Green

SN0488 Land north of School Lane (between No115 and No117), Little Melton
Site comprises part of an agricultural field adjacent to the A47. 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 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.
