Additional Notes
Site occupied by a redundant brick storage building, with the rest being hardstanding. Last utilised as a haulage yard but now out of use and available. Demolition of the existing industrial buildings required prior to redevelopment. Permission granted for building of 5 homes after clearance in 2018 (18/01144/FUL). The site was then marketed and was sold in 2019. At this time, the intention was to deliver a scheme of cottages for retired/elderly people. However, the permission has now lapsed due to non-implementation. Despite this, it has recently been confirmed that the site remains available for redevelopment and it is understood that a new scheme is being drawn up for the site, with a view to submitting an application for a revised scheme in the short-term. At the moment, the site is considered developable in the medium-term (6 to 10 years). Deliverability to be reappraised if a new permission is granted.
