Development Site & Planning
A predominantly greenfield site extending to approximately 0.485 hectares (1.20 acres) benefitting from outline planning permission for the construction of 18 new build dwellings, five of which are to be affordable homes.
An outline planning application prepared and submitted by the planning and development team at David Hill LLP was approved by Craven District Council on 02 September 2022. Application No.: 2021/23212/OUT. The approval is for 18 dwellings with all matters reserved with the exception of access.
An example site layout, prepared by Carleton based architect John Wharton, provides an indication of house type and size together with positioning of the affordable units throughout the site. Although not forming part of the approved documents, we believe the illustrative site layout plan will meet the requirements for conditions 19, 20 and 21 of the decision notice.
Condition No. 18 requires on site provision for open space. If open space cannot be provided within the site, an off site contribution in the sum of £63,828 will be required by the local authority.

Electronic copies of the approved planning documents together with relevant supporting documents can be sent via wetransfer, on request.
