Part of this proposed site is within the River Wensum SAC and makes up part of the very valuable flood plain, protecting Norwich. Schools within this area are already over subscribed, more family homes will increase demands for improved public services, such as Drs surgeries and schools. Land such as this site, if deemed suitable for development of any kind, should possibly be considered for allotment sites or recreational green spaces. The site has disused farm buildings within it, bats have been seen coming and going from these during summer evenings. Barn owls have also been observed making use of this area.
