Formerly occupied by a commercial garage, with site including a showroom and sales forecourt. Another building lay to the west of the site, although the whole area has now been cleared. The site has long been identified for redevelopment and a range applications for redevelopment have been proposed retail use, with an emphasis on retail use(s). This includes an application for a supermarket a number of years ago, refused after being called-in by the secretary of state (A/2001/0331). Two independent proposals for redevelopment have been progressed since clearance, with two sub-parcels identified to reflect this (0220a, 0220b). A scheme for 9 dwellings on the western parcel (0220a) was permitted in 2018 (17/02409/FUL). Subsequently, the site was sold and the permission has now lapsed due to non-implementation. Future availability is unknown, but the potential for development in the medium- to longer-term is still considered to exist. NB - redevelopment of the adjacent parcel (0220b) for a supermarket and another small retail unit has been completed (13/02550/FUL).
