Experts are carrying out tests at a site where rubble from Second World War bombing raids was dumped, to see if it is safe to build homes on the land. Investigations are under way to establish the scale of contamination on a 10.5 acre site, off Mile Cross Road, where City Hall leaders want to build 200 council houses. Norwich City Council agreed two years ago that it wanted to redevelop the site, which used to be the Mile Cross Business Centre. Before that, it was the council’s City Works depot, where City Hall’s fleet of vehicles were based. The buildings on the site were demolished in 2019, but the land needs to be checked to establish the scale of contamination. The council says that is important work as the site was used to dispose of rubble after buildings in the city were bombed during the Baedeker Raids of 1942. A council spokeswoman said: “Examination of the land has included recent work to dig trial pits which will help determine the scale and type of contamination in the ground. “It also provides information about the ground conditions to help develop the next stages of engineering tasks.”
