Notes

This land is the site of two commercial nurseries, comprising a range of buildings and associated land. However, large areas of the site has been disused in recent years. The eastern section was occupied by Stannington Nurseries, but now comprises of vacant hardstanding following earlier demolitions of the buildings. The western part of the has been occupied by a nursery and garden centre, operated by Birchwood Nurseries. An initial outline application for clearance of the disused Stannington Nurseries site and building of 27 homes was approved in 2015 (15/01760/OUT). This proposal only related to the eastern parcel. Subsequently, a proposal was then granted for an amended scheme of 34 homes (16/03693/FUL). The revised scheme covers a larger area than the initial permission, incorporating both the original site and Birchwood Nurseries to the west. All remaining buildings on this land required clearance prior to redevelopment. Construction works commenced in 2018. Development of 34 dwellings completed during 2021/22.
