Supporting information
This 1.3 hectare site is allocated for a residential led development with potential for some hotel or business related uses appropriate for a site adjoining residential areas. The site is the last remaining undeveloped parcel of land within Orchard Park.
The current permission for student rooms is being implemented and there is an extant permission for hotel related uses and this is considered appropriate although other business or residential related uses may also be acceptable subject to their impact on neighbouring residential areas.
Further guidance on the development of this site is set out in the Orchard Park Design Guide SPD.
