The area under consideration comprises former sidings, scrub and partially wooded land which was former railway land within Reepham Station. The development area does not include the existing Goods Shed or former Station building. This report by Norfolk Partnership Laboratory (NPL) was instigated at the request of Michelle Hughes of Canham Consulting after acceptance of NPL’s quotation. NPL provides a service within the Highways Group of the Community and Environmental Services Department of Norfolk County Council. This investigation fulfils the requirements for a desk study and walkover survey as specified in NHBC Standards, Chapter 4.1 Land Quality - managing ground conditions, January 2017. In addition a risk assessment has been carried out to the requirements of The Environmental Protection Act Part IIA. This report is inclusive of a full Envirocheck report, Envirocheck historical maps and historical land use. In addition consideration is given to the health and safety of construction workers and subsequent residents that may be affected due to any soil contamination of the site. The proposal is for mixed use development including retail, commercial, residential and a care village. Opinions and interpretations expressed herein are outside the scope of UKAS accreditation. Although every effort has been made to give a true assessment of the condition of the site within the constraints of the desk study, it is possible that different ground conditions or contamination may exist in parts of the site that is neither recorded nor visible. The risk of such occurrences should be further reduced by the main investigation if required. 1.2 Report objectives The objectives of these works are to assess contamination sources, pathways and receptors, and to determine whether any contamination may be present either within the site boundaries or just outside the site. The report also assesses the extent to which human health, buildings and services and controlled waters may be affected. If contamination is thought likely to be present, recommendations will be made to ascertain the level of contamination and if these levels are within allowable limits. 1.3 Site location The site is located in the market town of Reepham approximately 0.50 kilometre to the north of the town centre. (OSGR 610065/323500). Reepham is located approximately 20 kilometres to the north west of Norwich. T:\HMLAB\PROJECTS\EXTERNAL\CANH0026 Reepham Station Desk Study\Reports\DS&RA Reepham Former Station Land.doc Page 5 of 34 A site location plan is in Appendix A. 1.4 Site layout The site is irregular in shape wider on the eastern side and tapering to the west and approximately 2.27 hectares in area. A spot height of 46.0 metres is shown close to the south west corner of the site on the B1145. The southern part of the site is elevated above the northern section. The site falls by approximately 4.0 metres from the east to the west. 1.5 Planning application The site is subject to the planning conditions of Broadland District Council. T:\HMLAB\PROJECTS\EXTERNAL\CANH0026 Reepham Station Desk Study\Reports\DS&RA Reepham Former Station Land.doc Page 6 of 34 2.0 Desk Study 2.1 Description of site and surroundings A walkover survey was undertaken by Mr S. Berwick of NPL on 09 April 2018. The site is accessed via an asphalt carriageway from the B1145 through eastern boundary. The land to the east of the access road is elevated by approximately 2.0 metres and was very overgrown with shrubs and brambles. The road is approximately 100 metres in length and curves gently to the west leading to a much wider area of asphalt with the Station House to the north and former Goods Shed to the south. The Station House is now a café/restaurant and the former Goods Shed a retail outlet. This area is outside of the proposed development. Two smaller buildings also commercial/retail are present in this area as is a bunded heating oil tank. The hardstanding is approximately 70 metres in length and utilised for vehicle parking. To the west of the hardstanding an unmetalled overflow car park partially occupies the land which becomes moss covered with numerous bushes and trees. The remnants of a possible platform, some brick rubble and a general waste skip are located just to the west of the former Goods Shed. A number of fridges, paint tins and lubricant containers are also present close to the waste skip. Remnants of a small timber structure were also noted in this area. Wood, scaffolding and windows are stored to the rear of the former Goods Shed (southern side). A lorry trailer is located on the land further to the west, this was not accessed. An embankment approximately 1.50 metres in height but reducing to the west runs approximately two thirds the length of the site. Some of the former railway infrastructure remains such as concrete steps and a manhole. Overhead cables are also present in this area. It is assumed the step in the site levels was the difference in height from the sidings concourse to the track bed which would have once led to the Goods Shed. The development land to the south of the Goods Shed has recently been cleared of all scrub and falls slightly from east to west with mature trees and hedges to the southern boundary with C265 Stony Lane running parallel to the boundary. A collapsed building is present on the site close to the southern boundary at the approximate mid-point. An overhead electricity supply crosses the site from north to south. The Marriots Way located along the former mainline track bed runs parallel to the northern boundary.

    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives.

  • Marriott's Way Circular Route Guide
    MARRIOTT’S WAY CIRCULAR ROUTE GUIDE WELCOME TO MARRIOTT’S WAY MARRIOTT’S WAY is a 26-mile linear trail for riders, walkers and cyclists. Opened in 1991, it follows part of the route of two former Victorian railway lines, The Midland and Great Northern (M&GN) and Great Eastern Railway (GER). It is named in honour of William Marriott, who was chief engineer and manager of the M&GN for 41 years between 1883 and 1924. Both lines were established in the 1880s to transport passengers, livestock and industrial freight. The two routes were joined by the ‘Themelthorpe Curve’ in 1960, which became the sharpest bend on the entire British railway network. Use of the lines reduced after the Second World War. Passenger traffic ceased in 1959, but the transport of concrete ensured that freight trains still used the lines until 1985. The seven circular walks and two cycle loops in this guide encourage you to head off the main Marriott’s Way route and explore the surrounding areas that the railway served. Whilst much has changed, there’s an abundance of hidden history to be found. Many of the churches, pubs, farms and station buildings along these circular routes would still be familiar to the railway passengers of 100 years ago. 2 Marriott’s Way is a County Wildlife Site and passes through many interesting landscapes rich in wonderful countryside, wildlife, sculpture and a wealth of local history. The walks and cycle loops described in these pages are well signposted by fingerposts and Norfolk Trails’ discs. You can find all the circular trails in this guide covered by OS Explorer Map 238.

  • Consultation on Planning Applications Site Between Wroxham Road
    Planning Committee 1 February 2013 Agenda Item No 9(ii) Consultation on Planning Application: Erection of Up to 3,520 Dwellings, 16,800 m2 Employment Space, 8,800 m2 Shops, Services, Cafes and Restaurants plus Hotel Accommodation, Two Schools, Community Space, Energy Centre, Cycle and Vehicle Parking, Public Open Space and Accesses on Site between Wroxham Road, Sprowston and St Faiths Road, Old Catton Report by Head of Development Management Summary: The Broads Authority has been consulted by Broadland District Council in respect of an application for a mixed use development on land to the north of Norwich. Recommendation: That no objection is raised to the application, but that comments are made regarding landscaping, bio-diversity mitigation and off- setting. 1 Background 1.1 The Joint Core Strategy (JCS) for Norwich City, Broadland District and South Norfolk Councils identifies 37,000 houses and 27,000 jobs to be delivered in the Greater Norwich Area up to 2026. The JCS was adopted in 2011, however, following a partially successful legal challenge in 2012, parts of it have been remitted back to the three authorities for repair. The revised JCS was submitted to the Secretary of State before Christmas. As part of the “repair” process the GNDP have identified that a floating small sites allowance of 2,000 homes is appropriate for the Broadland part of the Norwich Policy Area (NPA) leaving 7,000 new homes to be appropriately located within the NPA. The revised JCS “allocates” 7,000 dwellings north east of Norwich (including 25 hectares of employment land at Rackheath.
