Historic Planning history - see promotional document (Below information is taken from promotional document) Two outline planning applications for the residential development of the site were refused in February 1970 (ref. C/0839/70/O) and January 1969 (ref. C/0757/68/O). These two applications clearly have little relevance to the present proposals for the development of the site. A recent full planning application for four large, two-storey dwelling houses on land to the north of 69 Long Road was refused in March 2019 (ref. S/0058/19/FL). This refusal principally related to the fact that the dwellings would be located outside the development framework, within the Green Belt and no special circumstances were provided. The design of the dwelling houses was also a reason for refusal. In 2012 the site was submitted as part of the call for sites process and was consulted upon by the Council through its Issues and Options for delivery of new homes across the District. The site did not progress any further due to concerns that the site forms part of the Green Belt and was not considered to relate well to the amenities of the village. Concerns were also expressed about the accessibility of the site for pedestrians and cyclists.
