Norwich Hospitality Investments Ltd, who want to extend the Holiday Inn Express on Drayton High Road by 32 rooms, called on engineers to draw up a fresh flood risk report after officials for Norfolk County Council raised concerns.

Engineers for Nimbus Engineering Consultants Ltd said in the 22-page report: "Based on the request from Norfolk County Council, we have carried out pluvial flood modelling to show that the post-development flood risk will not increase and there is no flood risk to this proposed extension."
