Notes Former gasworks site on the edge of the town centre. The former industrial buildings and gasholders were cleared at an earlier date and there is an opportunity for infill redevelopment within a short walk of the town centre. Given the location, the indicative yield of 9 dwellings reflects potential for a scheme at a slightly increased density, potentially a flatted scheme. Remediation will be necessary due to past use, to eradicate any legacy of contamination from industrial processes. The land has been utilised for car parking and for storage recently, the latter enabled by an approval for change of use, issued in 2016 (16/00598/FUL). Recently, an application for development of 2 detached custom/self-build dwellings has been submitted for consideration (24/02715/OUT). A decision is still pending for this application, but if permitted, the site will be reclassified as a 'small site' in the SHLAA. Until then, no residential development is forecast within the plan period. Facts
