SITE DESCRIPTION: The site was previously used for allotments, with some allotment land remaining to the immediate west. The site is relatively flat and of regular shape with access directly onto Diamond Avenue.
We calculate the following approximate area:
5.2 acres (2.1 hectares)
PLANNING: The site previously had an planning consent for the development of 72 dwellings (planning ref: V/2007/0885, expired).
The site is listed within the last Ashfield District Council SHELAA (ref: K404) as suitable for an estimated 67 dwellings (Ashfield District Council Housing Land Monitoring report, 2019), and the 2021 draft SHELAA (KA026) as suitable for 63 homes.
The site is listed within the Ashfield District Council Draft Local Plan 2020 to 2038 (October 2021 issue) - SHELAA ref: KA026 / Local Plan policy ref: H1KE.
Informal guidance from the local planning authority indicates that an application for 63 units may be appropriate. This is based on policy H3 of the Ashfield Local Plan review, and assumes 75% of the site area will provide housing at the permitted density of 40 units per hectare.
