Additional Notes

Land that is part of a golf club, currently occupied by a club house, car parking, and holiday lodges. The site is outwith the settlement boundary identified in the Local Plan. Whilst availability is dependent on the future operational needs of the golf club, the site has been identified for redevelopment. Clearance of existing buildings would be required. An outline application for redevelopment of the site for 16 homes following demolition works was permitted in 2021 (19/04108/OUT), Demolition works commenced following relocation of the golf clubhouse facilities to a different site. This was enabled under a separate consent (22/01533/DEMGDO). More recently, a reserved matters application was permitted in 2023 (23/01695/REM). Construction is now underway and the overall site is forecast for completion 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.
