Additional Notes

Three-storey former residential care home that has been vacant since closure in 2015. Identified for having potential for conversion to provide flats. An initial permission was granted to alter and convert the building to 14 residential apartments in 2016 (16/00503/FUL). A subsequent application was permitted in 2017 for a loft conversion to provide another apartment, increasing the overall yield to 15 units (17/03717/FUL). However, a further amendment was then made to alter the proposals for the ground floor, leading to 1 fewer flats being provided (18/03633/VARYCO). This reduced the scheme back to the original total of 14 flats. Works commenced in 2018, with all 14 flats completed in 2019/20. NB - all units were completed in 2014/15, although an error in the monitoring process meant that 1 unit remained recorded as outstanding. This has now been rectified and the site is recorded as fully complete.

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.
