Site constraints 2

Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Wensum SAC
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.

Inside the Dereham built-up area.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
