Church Farm, Woodhorn Road

Notes

Previously the site of agricultural buildings but now overgrown vacant land and areas of hardstanding. The site had not been utilised for farming purposes for some time and clearance was undertaken some time ago. The land has been proposed for redevelopment for many years. An initial outline consent for 8 dwellings was permitted in 2006 (05/00077/OUT). However, this lapsed as no start was made before expiry. A revised application for redevelopment with 11 homes was then submitted but this time was refused in 2008 (06/00490/FUL). A further scheme of 11 houses was proposed but this application was withdrawn prior to determination (09/E/00503/FUL). In 2012, another application for clearance redevelopment for 15 dwellings was submitted (12/01397/FUL). This This application took a number of years to progress before being approved in 2017. Development commenced in 2020. All the dwellings are now under-construction and the overall scheme is forecast for completion within the next five years.
