Cordons had been placed around rows of mobile units which are reportedly used to house seasonal fruit pickers.

Outside the farmland is a row of end-of-terrace cottages. Local resident Carole Steiner said: "I took the dog out this morning and there was about three or four cars and a police cordon all the way around the mobile units."

She said she was told by the landowner the police presence was due to the death of a young man who was found inside one of the mobile units but that no cause had yet been established.
