My clients have a planning application currently under consideration for development of this site under reference 26/00082/MFL.
The proposal is for a church hall plus 33 apartments for persons aged over 55.
If the mixed use scheme is not approved my client will seek to implement their fallback position of residential development.
The site previously had reserved matters approval for 40 dwellings which is probably a more realistic number and demonstrated that all technical issues could be satisfactorily addressed.
We wish to support this housing allocation whilst noting that the mixed use scheme currently proposed would deliver 33 apartments.
