Historically a poultry farm, in more recent times the site had been home to a market garden. However, the land has been vacant more recently following cessation of business operations. Located outwith a settlement but does comprise brownfield land. A range of buildings and associated infrastructure had been in situ but only hardstanding and rough ground remain following clearance. The land has a relationship with the existing dwelling immediately to the north as the entire site being in common ownership. Despite this, the initial proposals were for two small-scale schemes that together cover the whole site. An outline application for building of 2 homes on the southern part of the site was initially permitted in 2016 (16/01783/OUT). This was followed by another outline consent for the northern parcel, this time for 3 homes permitted in 2017 (17/01476/OUT). A revised detailed application for construction of 5 units was then approved in 2019, taking in the whole site (18/03182/FUL). This combined scheme supersedes the two smaller proposals permitted earlier. Works on this revised scheme began in 2021. Development of 5 dwellings completed in 2022/23.
