Despite the previous proposal not coming to fruition, the land is considered to still have potential to support a residential scheme, although this will need to be at scale appropriate Part of the site is proposed for designation as priority open space and outwith the identified settlement boundary in the Local Plan. No residential development is forecast within the plan period at present.
