This site was allocated in 2015 as part of the South Norfolk Local Plan. It is located to the south of the town with vehicular access from Spirkett’s Lane. This is a recognised part of the town for commercial uses and it is expected that development can come forward within the new local plan time-period up to 2038.

Land south of Spirketts Lane, Harleston (approx. 4.47 ha) is allocated for employment uses in class E(g) office, research and development, and industrial process, class B2 general industrial, and class B8 storage distribution.

  3. Provide enhanced planting along all site boundaries.
  4. Protect the mature tree belt along the Spirkett's Lane frontage.
  5. Contribute towards green infrastructure protection or enhancement along the Waveney valley corridor.
  6. Deliver a suitable drainage strategy (SuDS where practicable).
  7. Wastewater infrastructure capacity must be confirmed prior to development taking place.
  8. Historic Environment Service to be consulted to determine any need for archaeological surveys prior to development.
