separate technical reports are all publically available and demonstrated the suitability of development for residential purposes in 2009 and the further renewal application.

No – the site is previously developed land.

The employment uses at the site entrance would be retained and access for new commercial Land would come direct off the existing access on Coneygre Road.

Following securing planning permission at appeal in 2009 for 300 dwellings and a subsequent renewal application, the landowner has marketed the site, via professional agents to numerous housebuilders. Due to the cost of addressing the prevailing ground conditions and existing mines under the site along with its market location, no housebuilder/developer has taken the site forward. Some interest has been provided from the development sector for commercial uses on the site, which the landowner advises will not require the same extent and costs associated with securing suitable and deliverable land platforms for B Class employment land. For this reason Mintworth Transport would welcome the opportunity of having discussions with the Local Planning Authority over the potential for an employment allocation on the land.
