STATUTORY REGISTER OF BROWNFIELD LAND ANNUAL REVIEW PDF 100 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: The Corporate Director for Economic and Housing Growth reported upon the statutory requirement to review the entries on the Council’s register of brownfield sites each year under the Town & Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 which was introduced as part of a Government initiative to encourage investment in new housing and as a mechanism for granting permission in principle on suitable sites instead of obtaining planning permission through a formal application.
It was explained how the Council had asked the Planning Committee to consider the Brownfield Register at least every 12 months to decide whether any sites should be added or removed and also whether any sites should be allocated for residential development in Part 2 subject statutory procedures (Council 11 December 2017, minute 96 refers).
It was reported that the review had identified new planning applications at Wirral Waters for Legacy (DLS/18/00715 for 536 apartments) and Belong (APP/18/00470) with 34 independent living apartments). Members were advised that based on the latest information of the schemes provided by the landowner, it was found reasonable to conclude that a minimum number of 1092 residential units could be achieved , representing a reduction of 580 from the number of units proposed in previous outline applications at Northbank East (09/05109 and 09/05110). Members heard how these applications were recommended for approval subject to legal agreements that had never been signed. Therefore the proposal was to add the sites where proposals for Legacy and Urban Splash were being considered at Northbank East and to amend the existing planning information with a revised number that equates to 1,092 dwelling for the available sites on the North Bank of the East Float.
Members were advised that taking account of works already commenced, the register of planning decisions, the latest available Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, marketing information and the responses to public consultation on the first Brownfield Register, it was proposed that the Register be amended as follows:
· include the former Pool Inn Public House, Poulton Rd, Seacombe: · include the former Birch Tree Public House, Prenton Road West; · include 165 Bedford Rd, Rock Ferry; · include former high rise flats adj Rock Close, Rock Ferry; · include builders merchant yard 8 Berwyn Drive, Pensby and Thingwall; · include Woodville, Raby Rd, Clatterbridge; · include the former Victoria Lodge Public House , 81-83 Victoria Rd, Birkenhead & Tranmere; · include Wirral Waters Legacy Site, Dock Road, Seacombe; · include Wirral Waters Urban Splash 1 site, Dock Rd, Seacombe; and · remove the Sundial, 61 Caldy Road, Caldy (under construction) · remove land at Kenilworth Gardens, Overchurch (under construction); · remove land at the former Millhouse public house, 79 Millhouse Lane, Moreton (under construction); · remove land at the former Corsair public house, Bidston Village Road, Beechwood (under construction); · remove Axholme, 76 Thurstason Rd, Heswall (under construction); · remove land at Mariners Park, Ismay Drive, Egremont (under construction); · remove land rear of Whitebridge, Bromborough ( under construction); · remove the former Cole Street Primary School, Birkenhead (under construction); and · update planning information for Acre Lane Resource Centre, ... view the full minutes text for item 92. |
