A site specific Green Belt Assessment has not been carried out. (Relates to rejected site TH/023).

-Buildings comprising these former mills now demolished.
-Two applications approved, decision notices never issued because s106 agreement required.
-A pre-application enquiry reply indicated additional areas that might have potential for development pending a review of the Green Belt boundary.
-Boundary as described would encompass land that was most involved with the operations of the former Mills when they were operational.
-The pre-application letter stated:
unlikely to result in a level of ecological landscape or heritage harm which could not be overcome through sensitive design.” development would , in conservation terms, transform the site from its current negative contribution to making a positive contribution.

-Brownfield/PDL.
-Sustainable location, near to frequent bus routes.
-Would make positive contribution to Conservation Area.
-Development can be delivered now, a housing allocation is justified on the additional area proposed.
