Notes Former local authority residential care institution and associated land that is in a peripheral setting outwith a settlement. This was the site of Netherton Park Secure Children’s Home, occupied by a number of buildings, associated areas of hardstanding, and open land. The facilities were housed in one main building and a number of smaller residential-type properties. Following a review, in 2012 the site was declared surplus to requirements and made available for redevelopment. This was part of wider proposal to relocate to smaller community homes in local areas, rather than operating a centralised facility at this location. The care units and administrative buildings were gradually vacated following this decision. Redevelopment will involve demolition of the empty buildings, some of which are in a poor state of repair. Outline planning permission was approved in 2017 for redevelopment of the site to provide up to 85 units (14/00808/OUT). A reserved matters application was permitted shortly afterwards in 2021 (20/02069/REM). Site is mixed in nature, with the brownfield element (3.28ha) representing almost half of the site area - a yield of around 36 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 3500) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 7.89ha. Development commenced in 2022 and overall completion of the site is expected within the coming five years. Facts about Notes
