Respondent: Mrs Jill Hustler

The proposed site is not suitable for building houses on due to the on going flooding in the village, and all reports say more wet weather and heavy down pours should be expected as the new weather patten.
The site does not have good access the small single track road giving access is not able to take that much heavy traffic .

SN0017SL – Land to the west of New Road, Ashwellthorpe & SN0242 – Land to the west of New Road, Ashwellthorpe
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).

Inaccuracy in the definition of this site within the ‘Village Clusters’ section of the ‘Introduction and Background’. Here, the Settlement Limit Extension sites are defined as being “for sites smaller than 12 dwellings”. On examination it is found that the following ‘SL’ site is not for fewer than 12 dwellings:
SN0017SL Land to the west of New Road, Ashwellthorpe & SN0242 – Land to the west of New Road, Ashwellthorpe for an allocation of 12 dwellings.

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 - 0.30cm.
* 1.0% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding
* 1.0% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00 - 0.30cm.
* 0.1% AEP Event [Extent]: Minor flooding
* 0.1% AEP Event [Depth]: 0.00- 0.30cm.
2.] Internal & external flooding?:
* On-site: No
* Within proximity to site (~500.00m): Yes - Internal Flooding
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."
The on-site flood risk contributes to a major flow path adjacent to the site. Flow lines indicate flood water flows north away from the site. We advise this must be considered in the site assessment.
Assessment: Green

SN024240017SL - Visibility left from New Road to Wymondham Road is limited. It should be confirmed prior to allocation that this can be satisfactorily resolved.

Green no major ecological constraints identified from desk-top search. Surveys, and biodiversity enhancement in accordance with policy required.
Two agricultural fields part bounded/divided by hedges - (priority habitat) - losses should be avoided - minimised, and as a last resort, compensated. No other priority habitats identified onsite see MAGIC). Site in amber habitat zone for great crested newts. Site in SSSI IRZ, but residential development doesn't trigger consultation with Natural England (unless development 100 unites plus) 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.
