The Planning

The site benefits from Full Planning Permission granted by Melton Borough Council on 29th November 2024. The approved application reference is 24/00833/FUL and the application allows for “Construction of 1 x 4-bedroom dwelling on former walled garden”. The decision notice includes 15 conditions, and a copy is available via request from the agent or on the planning portal.

Site Access

The site has direct access off Queen Street. Condition 6 of the decision notice relating to visibility splays needs to be satisfied, details of which are available by request or on the planning portal.

Biodiversity

Condition 11 of the Decision Notice requires the completion of habitat creation and enhancement works, as detailed in the approved Technical Note: Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Q24-3717, prior to the occupation of the dwelling. Additionally, a completion report evidencing these works must be submitted to, and approved in writing by, the Local Planning Authority. Condition 13 of the Decision Notice requires the submission of an Arboricultural Impact Assessment and a detailed Tree Protection Plan prior to the commencement of development. The development must thereafter be carried out in strict accordance with the approved details to ensure the protection of existing trees.

Archaeological Work

Condition 10 of the Decision Notice requires that no demolition or development, other than access works, shall take place until a programme of archaeological work has been completed in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) approved by the Local Planning Authority. The WSI must include details of site investigation, recording, post-investigation assessment, and publication. This condition will not be fully discharged until all elements of the programme are completed. Relevant documents are available on request from the agent or on the Planning Portal.

Utilities

It is understood that all necessary utilities are accessible from Queen Street; however, purchasers are advised to undertake their own enquiries to confirm availability and connection arrangements.

Planning History

The site has a history of three previous planning applications and one variation of condition application, spanning from 2004 to 2023. These include: 04/00465/OUT – Proposed erection of four dwellings. This application was approved on appeal. 08/00567/OUT – Proposed erection of four dwellings. This planning permission was approved and has been implemented. However, the scheme is currently undeliverable due to the visibility splay requirements. Following the sale, the purchaser may negotiate with the proprietor of 22 Queen Street to facilitate the necessary adjustments, potentially enabling the scheme to be built out. 23/01086/FUL – Construction of 2 x 2-bedroom bungalows on the former walled garden. This application was withdrawn after consultation with highways. The guidance note from highways indicates that the visibility splays fall short of the required standard. However, this matter could potentially be revisited and reasoned by a willing purchaser.
