Field notes
Value Extensive, isolated derelict industrial land formerly home to the Marley Tiles factory. 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 as long ago as 2000 (T/20000109). A revised proposal to construct 109 houses following clearance has been refused in 2019 (18/02239/FUL). This proposal was focused on the brownfield element of the site, the footprint of the factory buildings and associated hardstanding. Notwithstanding this recent refusal, potential may exist for a residential scheme, but at an appropriate scale for the setting. Being a mixed site of both brownfield and greenfield land, the much reduced yield of 20 dwellings indicated in the SHLAA recognises development of 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. Potential may still exist for residential development, but a scheme will have to overcome the significant constraints and concerns highlighted and be of any appropriate scale for the rural location.. The site remains available. Currently considered developable later in the plan period.
