Lot 5 - Building Plots - Full Planning Permission - Lot 5 comprises of a development site with full planning permission for the erection of two detached dwellings.
Planning Permission - Full planning permission was granted in 2023 for the erection of two detached residential dwellings, under planning application reference numbers 23/02897/FUL and 23/02899/FUL.
Application 23/02897/FUL provides for a detached, two storey dwelling with attached double garage, and spacious living and sleeping accommodation amounting to approximately 222sqm of floor area (including the garage).
Similarly, application 23/02899/FUL provides for detached, two storey dwelling with an attached double garage and approximately 188sqm of floorspace, to include four double bedrooms.
Within both application, vehicular access is to be taken via the existing roadside access and across the yard between the farmhouse and barn conversions.
Affordable Housing Contribution - Core Strategy Policy CS11 requires most market housing schemes to contribute towards affordable housing provision (usually through a one-off payment in lieu of on-site provision where a small number of dwellings is proposed). However, the revised NPPF now states categorically that such contributions should not be sought in connection with any small-scale development. It is therefore accepted that in this respect the Council's policy is effectively out-of-date, and so would no longer attract siginicant weight in this instance.
Community Infrastructure Levy (Cil) - The CIL liability notices in respect of application 23/02987/FUL and 23/02989/FUL confirm a zero CIL liability as a result of the area of buildings to be demolished exceeding the total development area. As a result, in September 2023 the CIL Team at Shropshire Council confirmed a CIL Form 6 (Commencement Notice) would not be required when the developments commence and no further action regarding CIL is required in relation to the developments.
