This site was removed from the Green Belt and identified as safeguarded land in the 2005 UDPR. The site now remains outside the Green Belt and within the settlement boundary. Despite this, and the present need for additional housing within the district, the site has not yet come forward for development and we are not aware of any active discussions or planning applications regarding the site’s development. We note that the site is owned by CBMDC.
It is unclear whether acceptable access to the site can be achieved given the nature of the narrow
streets and on street parking on the approach to the site. Site levels could also present a potential barrier to the site’s delivery.
This site scores less favourably than sites SI/004A, SI/004 and SI/003 in respect of flood risk (SA Objective 4) and access to public transport (SA Objective 10).
