The planning permission was for the erection of seven dwellings, excavation of land to provide an attenuation basin, construction of internal access roads, landscaping and the demolition of existing grain stores, application number 02935/25/FUL.

The site is accessed directly from Lock Road, the farm yard has until recently been used for agricultural purpose, all farm machinery and equipment shall be removed prior to completion. The site in total extends to 1.51 acres (0.61 hectares).

Planning permission has been obtained for the erection of seven dwellings. The design of these are traditional providing premium properties when construction is complete. There are six semi detached properties and one detached property.

The two largest properties (6 & 7 on the plan) each measure 2314 sq ft and are designed to replicate a traditional agricultural cart shed with arched windows. These properties both benefit from four bedrooms and double garages, they are set back to the rear of the site.

Properties 1 to 4 are located to the front of the site, all these properties have 3 bedrooms. These units comprise a row of semi-detached houses with two parking spaces each. Units 2 and 3 have a single garage each.

Property 5 is opposite the drive to units 1 to 4 on the east of the site. The house is a detached two-storey building with four bedrooms and two car parking spaces. The garden has a hedgerow border to separate it from the drive and the houses at the end of the site.

The materials used in the design for the buildings are to be in keeping with neighbouring properties. The houses will have clay pantile roofs, timber joinery, pink, red and brown multi brickwork. This adds to the premium finish of the properties. As part of the planning application a full biodiversity net gain assessment was undertaken. The design of the scheme enables the uplift in biodiversity net gain to be delivered on the site.
