Additional Notes

Parcel of brownfield land that has been used as a maintenance yard for the nearby Riverside Caravan Park. There is an existing house on site, which has also operated as an office for the holiday park, together with a large shed for storage or vehicles and materials. The land was identified for redevelopment as a result of a proposal to relocate maintenance facilities to another location, closer to the caravan park. An application for clearance of the site, and construction of 6 new dwellings was submitted in 2013 but was later withdrawn prior to determination (13/02393/FUL). This proposal would have resulted in 5 net additional homes on completion of the works. 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.

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.
