| 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, two further applications for development of 2 detached custom/self-build dwellings have been submitted for consideration (24/02715/OUT, 25/02730/OUT). However, both of these applications have been refused during 2025. If permission had been granted, then the site will be reclassified as a 'small site' in the SHLAA. Given this context, at present development is not considered achievable and no residential development is forecast in the SHLAA. | Facts about Notes |
