| Notes | Extensive tract of industrial land previously occupied by a wide range of industrial and commercial buildings, as well as some terraced residential properties. The vast majority have been cleared and the land is largely vacant and derelict in parts. Site potentially offers a very attractive location for development within the urban area. Clearance of any remaining remnants of past uses would be necessary, along with any necessary remediation. A mixed-use development of the site, for 136 homes, retail floorspace and restaurant/cafe units, was permitted in 2014 after being under consideration for a number of years (N/09/B/0317). Initial site works commenced following approval. A revised application for construction of 136 homes, alongside a parallel application for demolition of remaining buildings, was submitted in 2012 (12/00512/FUL, 12/00515/CON). These two linked applications remained pending consideration for many years, until finally being disposed of in 2024. More recently however, a variation application (18/00415/VARYCO) and S106 amendment (19/01845/S106A) were permitted to alter the permitted scheme. After a significant hiatus - when no information could be gathered regarding future intentions for the scheme, and there was no activity on site - a Certificate of Lawful Development was approved in March 2025 (25/00486/CLEXIS). This confirms that the permission has been implemented through initial site works, and that it will not lapse. Despite this, and whilst the permission will not lapse and the theoretical capacity from the extant planning permission remains, the future delivery of all outstanding units is currently discounted. If/when new information becomes available to suggest a change to this position, then deliverability can be appraised. | Facts about Notes |
