SITE CONTEXT PLAN: SAT NAV BS30 5JF
Planning A supporting Planning Appraisal Report has been undertaken to form an initial view on the development options (See Information Pack). Re-use/ redevelopment options which could be considered for the site include the following: Any of the Main Town Centre Uses as set out under Annex 2 to the NPPF, namely retail development; leisure; entertainment facilities; the more intensive sport and recreation uses; offices; arts, culture and tourism development (including hotels). A care home/extra care housing. Residential. Whilst the supporting text to Policy CS12 states that residential use will not be acceptable as provision has been made elsewhere in the Core Strategy, our clients planning advisors are of the opinion there is clear national and regional policy support for the delivery of a range of suitable and deliverable housing sites to help meet the identified housing need. In addition, there is policy support at all levels for delivering new residential development on brownfield sites in sustainable locations. Finally, the ability to provide a long term future for the heritage assets may assist in supporting residential development. We are of the opinion that the site has significant redevelopment potential, and the Local Authority Planning Authority will give consideration to a range of alternative uses subject to the detail of a planning application.
