Notes Extensive, isolated derelict industrial land formerly home to the Marley Tiles factory, located in the Green Belt. Comprises of a large industrial site in the countryside, which has been out of use since closure of the factory in 2008. The former factory and office buildings are in very poor repair and the site is largely derelict. The site has been identified and proposed for redevelopment for a number of years. The remaining buildings and industrial infrastructure require demolition prior to being redeveloped, as part of a significant clearance of the whole site. An initial application for residential development was refused in 2000 (T/20000109). A revised proposal to construct 109 houses following clearance was also refused in 2019 (18/02239/FUL). The subsequent appeal against this decision was dismissed in October 2021. Subsequently, a revised application for 61 homes was permitted in August 2025 (23/04126/FUL). The majority of the new development is focused on the brownfield land and involves the demolition of the remaining buildings and clearance of the site. Being a mixed site of both brownfield and greenfield land, a reduced yield of 20 dwellings has been suggested as an appropriate total for a discreet parcel of overall brownfield land (3.49ha). For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 2470) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 20.93ha. Whilst sites works are yet to commence, it is considered that the overall scheme is deliverable within the next five years. Facts about Notes
