Additional Notes
Land to the eastern edge of a very small settlement. Historically the site of a small colliery, but now mainly hardstanding with an existing storage building in situ on the remainder of the site. The latter would need to be cleared prior to any redevelopment. A lower yield could well be most appropriate given the rural location. The landowner has confirmed that options for a residential scheme have been considered. Development will have to be mindful of the rural context and market. Currently considered developable later in the plan period (11 to 15 years).
