Additional Notes

Former school site in a highly rural location that could offer potential for a small-scale residential development. The former school building remains in situ but the site may have potential for further residential development, but with an awareness of the rural context. A previous outline application for development of 6 dwellings lapsed without implementation (20061079, ENRP317).

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.
