Additional Notes

Farmstead in a rural location. The site comprises a number of modern and traditional farm buildings which are now no longer needed for agricultural purposes and are available for redevelopment. An application to provide 6 new dwellings was permitted in 2023 (21/04148/FUL). Works included the alteration and conversion of three stone buildings alongside the demolition of more modern structures. Construction works commenced in 2023 and a start was made on the residential units in 2024. It is anticipated that the overall project will be completed within the next five years.

What is Brownfield Land?

Brownfield land is previously developed land that may be available for redevelopment. The government prioritises brownfield development over greenfield sites to protect countryside and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. Local authorities maintain Brownfield Land Registers to identify suitable sites for housing.
