Existing end of terrace retail unit with a flat at first floor level. Recently the ground floor retail premises has been home to the local post office, following relocation of the service from the adjacent site. In the past, the opportunity for intensive redevelopment, likely to be through a small flat/apartment scheme, has been identified. It is possible that this could be in tandem with the adjacent site (3076), in order to deliver a larger scale project. However, two recent applications have been permitted for small-scale redevelopment projects. The first was an application for change of use from an apartment to a beautician studio, permitted in 2020 (20/00848/COU). In 2024, another application to reverse this change, and convert the beauty studio to 2 residential flats, was permitted (23/02176/FUL). As a result of these two recent applications, the site has been reappraised, and is now considered suitable for a development of a lower yield. Now classified as a 'small site' in the SHLAA and the site falls below the threshold required for inclusion on the Brownfield Land Register.
