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 This application was withdrawn after consultation with highways.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.
