Site of former railway station, although somewhat isolated from Whittingham village, lying outwith the settlement. Rural location but opportunity for potential redevelopment of a limited part of the large site. The reduced yield indicated recognises potential suitability for small scale development of around 10 units. The site has been the subject to other small-scale projects on discreet parts of the site, identified on separate SHLAA sub-parcels as small sites (0115a, 0115b). This includes renovation of the listed station building to form a single dwelling and redevelopment of the former engine shed to create a further dwelling (11/00726/FUL). Another application was permitted for conversion of the goods shed to a dwelling (14/02689/FUL). Further opportunity exists on remaining brownfield land, likely to be through new-build development. Recently confirmed that the site remains available, with a redevelopment scheme to be considered in due course. Currently considered developable later in the plan period at present.
