Flood Zone 1. The southern part of the site is at risk from surface water flooding which would need to be mitigated through design. Green Belt.
The site itself is not serviced, although there is residential development to the north and a business park complex to the west, opposite the site. Services are therefore expected to run in close proximity to the site and can be extended into the site as necessary. An overhead powerline crosses the southern part of the site.
The site is in agricultural/paddock use by the Landowners. There are no tenants or abnormal infrastructure requirements. Subject to planning, the site is available within the next 5 years.
It is expected that there would be considerable market interest given the location of the site.

Most of the site is in Flood Zone 1 except the southern tip (currently a car park) which is within Flood Zone 2. The river beyond is in Flood Zone 3. The River Granta is a County Wildlife Site. The site is outside the conservation area and Green Belt. As the site is currently in industrial use, an appropriate review and assessment of any contamination risks will be required. All environmental constraints will require assessment. There are no indications at this stage that they could not be satisfactorily mitigated either through design or remediation.
The site is industrial use and is fully serviced. It is not crossed by or adjacent to any pipelines or pylons.
To enable the existing commercial operators to relocate.
It is expected that there would be considerable market interest.
