The main planning benefits of the scheme are:
-
The regeneration of a derelict brownfield site comprising of 9 high-quality new homes that contribute towards the Council’s housing growth strategy.
-
A significant improvement to the visual appearance of the site through the delivery of contemporary new buildings that will contribute positively to the regeneration of the wider area.
-
Providing a mix of housing sizes to meet current and future housing needs, including a number of new family units that complement the context of the local area.
-
A fully designed landscaping scheme that includes a pocket woodland area to the Forest Side frontage that will assist in improving on site biodiversity and increase urban greening.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
The site at the side of the Queen Elizabeth public house was once occupied by the Queen Elizabeth Riding School that ceased operating in 2013 after the business encountered financial difficulties. The site is in a poor state of repair and has not been used since it was vacated.
The site is currently in the ownership of the public house but a sale has been agreed between the current owners and VFund.
