Residential Outline Planning Permission.

The outline planning permission was granted on 12th March 2009 and was subject to a 10 year expiry date which has expired and the 900 dwellings have been developed within the wider site. Therefore, the site will need to be subject to a new planning application whilst taking into account the approved masterplan and design code.
An application was recently progressed and subsequently withdrawn under reference 48/21/0073 for 'Outline planning with all matters reserved, except for access, for the demolition of employment buildings and erection of 28 No. dwellings (resubmission of 48/21/0033)'.
