Thropton 4x4 Centre (brownfield parcel), Thropton

Notes

Site at the western edge of the settlement, mainly comprising agricultural land. There is a small element of brownfield land that previously provided additional parking space for the adjacent car sales business. However, this neighbouring garage has now closed and the site has been cleared. An outline permission for 60 units was initially permitted in 2015 (13/03894/OUT). A reserved matters application for 65 dwellings was subsequently approved in October 2022 (18/00751/REM). A Certificate of Lawful Development Existing was approved in March 2025, confirming that dwelling plot-8 can lawfully be commenced. This confirms that site works have commenced, and the permission will not lapse. Brownfield element (0.27 ha) - indicative yield of around 8 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 0429) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 3.26 ha. Development yet to commence but is forecast for completion within the next five years.
