Planning
Dalcour Maclaren have provided an independent planning appraisal for the site that can be downloaded from the legal pack. Part of their Executive Summary states:
The existing structures afford the site the benefit of the status of previously developed land (PDL) within the Green Belt.
Green Belt policy supports the partial or complete redevelopment of previously developed land where the openness of the Green Belt is not harmed, which is positive for options for this site. The potential land use options considered within this appraisal have been identified as according with Green Belt policy and also accord with several of the Local Plan Policy objectives covering environmental, social and economic targets.
Four potential uses have been identified:
- Creation of a residential dwelling or live/work unit either through conversion of the existing buildings/structures or demolition of the existing and construction of new.
- Part or full conversion of the existing structures for non-residential use.
- Creation of industrial units or general storage following demolition of the existing.
- Release to other utility providers (eg. telecoms, power, other water company)
The site is considered suitable for small scale development defined within the footprint of the site. The presence of the Green Belt designations offers opportunities for imaginative design for either a conversion or redevelopment proposal.
The above is for information purposes and should be read in conjunction with the full report contained within the legal pack. Further enquiries should be directed to Rugby Borough Council
