Existing residential care home consisting of self-contained sheltered housing units. It has been identified previously that the current building may have potential for alteration to provide additional residential units through intensification. The building had originally been a flat-roofed structure, but was altered by creating a mansard-style roofspace (09/E/00308/FUL). After completion of these works, an application was submitted for conversion of the new roof space to create 6 additional flats, but this was refused in 2011 (10/S/00393/FUL). A revised proposal, also for conversion of the roof space to provide 6 extra flats, was then permitted in 2012 (11/01075/FUL). However, this lapsed without a start being made. Since then there have been further proposals for (re)development, and no contact from the landowner, therefore the availability of the site is uncertain. As the previous proposals were for a unique intensification of the roofspace of the building, the lack of information about availability, and limited evidence of the achievability of such a scheme means that no future net gain to the residential stock is forecast. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
