Additional Notes
Former school site that has been surplus to requirements following closure in 2009. Comprises of redundant buildings and associated open space. The vacant buildings require demolition but would be available for redevelopment following this. An initial proposal for clearance and development of 30 homes was refused in 2018 (17/03961/FUL). However, a revised application, also for demolition and construction of 30 dwellings, was later permitted in 2019 (18/04099/FUL). A separated consent was issued for demolition works (19/01505/DEMGDO). Brownfield in part (0.21ha) - indicative yield of around 6 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 1518) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 0.91ha. Development of 30 dwellings was completed in 2022/23.
