Branch End Garage, Stocksfield

Site to the eastern end of Stocksfield (Branch End) that is occupied by a range of building and uses. This includes an operating commercial garage, showroom and forecourt. A Quaker meeting house and public toilets are also in situ, with the remainder scrubland. In the past, it has been indicated that the land could be available for redevelopment, either in whole or in part. This would be dependent on the need and ability to secure alternative premises, particularly the garage. However, as there is an existing use/business in situ, and because there has been no indication in many years that there is an intention to relocated and/or redevelop the site, there is no evidence to suggest this has potential to provide new housing. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
