The land is owned by the local council and RCC were initially asked to undertake a planning feasibility review of the site to explore the development potential of the site. Following our positive feedback we were then asked to prepare and submit a planning application. During the course of the planning application the housing land supply situation changed within the council area and this had to be addressed plus amendments were made to the proposal. The resulting application went to planning committee and approved by councillors.
