| Notes | Land that is part of wider quarry site, comprising of a mix of buildings, hardstanding, vacant areas and greenfield land. Location is somewhat peripheral, lying outwith of a settlement. The north east part of the site and land immediately north of the site boundary is occupied by Cast Stone North (previously NASCO), who have traded from the site for over 40 years. The site has been identified for redevelopment as part of a wider proposal to enable new production facilities to be provided for the company. A large shed was in situ on part of the site, however the majority of the production buildings were destroyed by fire in May 2010 and the business now utilises existing smaller buildings that limit manufacturing capabilities. Redevelopment of part of the site would allow relocation to a new purpose built plant in a more appropriate industrial area. The remainder of the site is rough grassland used for grazing horses. An initial outline permission for a static caravan/chalet park, together with supporting facilities, was approved in 2012 (10/S/00573/OUT). However, this did not progress and lapsed. A revised outline application for development of 63 dwellings was then granted in 2016 (16/00592/OUT). As well as residential development, this permission included provision for 16 luxury units providing short-term holiday accommodation (C2 use class). A reserved matters application for the details of the scheme was then permitted in 2021 (19/04808/REM). Again, this was for 63 homes (C3) and 16 holiday units (C2).The brownfield land (0.47ha) represents a proportion of the overall site area - a yield of around 8 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 6779) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 3.78ha. Whilst detailed permission was secured, it is understood that a number of issues required resolution before development can commence. This includes those relating to viability, funding, and market factors. This permission has now lapsed due to non-implementation. The landowner has confirmed (EiP 2020) that they are still keen to take forward a development but a revised application for 72 holiday lodges has now been submitted, being permitted in 2023 (22/03571/FUL). The lodges are not for permanent residence, and therefore make no contribution to the overall housing stock (no net gain). Whilst development is yet to commence, the intention is to deliver this scheme rather than a residential (C3) one. As a result, the site is not available, a scheme is not considered to be achievable. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA. | Facts |
