Additional information

  • Reference: P/5049/19 for the “redevelopment to create 3-6 storey building for up to 60 flats and commercial space at ground floor; Refuse and Cycle Storage; Vehicle and pedestrian access.” – REFUSED.
  • Reference: P/4527/20 for the “demolition for existing building and the erection of a mixed use building, up to 5-storeys, including commercial floorspace (non-residential community use) at ground floor level and up to 41 dwellings above, with associated access from Elmgrove Road, parking, landscaping, and associated infrastructure.” – REFUSED
  • Both planning applications were refused on a similar basis:
  • 1. No justification of the loss of protected employment floorspace.
  • 2. Failure to demonstrate the proposed scheme can be accommodated on the site without over-massing, loss of light, and amenity.
  • In broader terms, we are of the opinion the site has scope for redevelopment, however, any future applications will require fine tuning and further emphasis on the points above. Both decision notices on the previous planning applications can be found in the data room.

  • could be further investigated including:
  • Private residential for sale, Affordable housing, Co-living, Leisure, Day Nursery, Healthcare, Industrial & Logistics.
