SHLAA - Brampton

Deliverable

Site Reference: BR01 - Land North of Old Church Lane (Adj 'Red Barn')

Location: Land North of Old Church Lane (Adj 'Red Barn'), Brampton

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a greenfield site in agricultural use which currently lies outside the settlement boundary for Brampton.  Although the majority of the site is physically and visibly separated from Brampton by Kirby Moor school and playing fields, both in location and landscape terms there is potential for part of the site to provide housing for the long term future development of Brampton.   This site has been looked at in tandem with BR 03, as the two sites together have potential for additional housing on the northern edge of Brampton.

Site Reference: BR03 - Land Adj Garth House

Location: Land Adj Garth House, Brampton

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: The site is well related to existing housing areas in Brampton, bordering Dacre Road/Howard Road to the east and Greenfield Lane, (Garth House and Rosalyn) to the south. However, the site has important open views towards the west, and is crossed by a public footpath. There is some potential on the southern portion of the site for a limited amount of housing development.

Site Reference: BR06 - Garth House, Greenfield Lane

Location: Garth House, Greenfield Lane, Brampton

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: Whilst this site is part of the garden of Garth House, it is designated as urban fringe landscape and lies outside the settlement boundary for Brampton. Garth House is a Grade II listed building and has extensive surrounding gardens. Both  the house and gardens are well screened by mature trees that fringe the site and are protected by a tree preservation order.  There are two entrance points to the plot, both accessed via Greenfield Lane. The enclosed nature of this site suggests there is scope for residential development on part of the site, subject to impact on the listed building, and relationship with the adjacent site.

Site Reference: BR07 - Land Adj Gelt Rise

Location: Land Adj Gelt Rise, Gelt Road, Brampton

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a Greenfield site which abuts the limits of the settlement boundary of Brampton and lies within Brampton Conservation Area.  It is identified as urban fringe landscape. To the north and west of the site there is substantial residential development. Land to the south west provides recreation grounds for the town which is screened from this site by trees and bushes. The site is currently greenfield, agricultural land with other agricultural fields to the east and south. It is well located in relation to all amenities within the town, including recreation grounds and bus stops, therefore enhancing its sustainability. In terms of the suitability of the site for housing, its location and accessibility are good, and the site is well related to surrounding residential development and amenities within the town. Therefore, there is potential for residential development on this site.

Site Reference: BR08 - Land West of Kingswater Close

Location: Land West of Kingswater Close, Greenhill, Brampton

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is greenfield land which abuts the settlement boundary for Brampton. It is identified within the local plan as Urban Fringe Landscape.  Housing areas adjoin the site on three sides and there is agricultural grazing land to the south. A public footpath runs along the western and southern boundary which connects with the public recreation ground laying to the south east of the site. The site is located close to local bus routes which increases its sustainability.  In terms of the suitability of the site for housing, its location is good and the site is well related to surrounding residential development and amenities within the town. Therefore, there is potential for residential development on this site.

Site Reference: BR11 - Land at Elmfield

Location: Land at Elmfield

Housing Potential: Deliverable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a large Greenfield site on the edge of Brampton. Whilst it is acknowledged that the development of this site would encroach upon the open countryside, it is felt that relates well to the existing form of the settlement. Any development on this site would need to provide improved sustainable transport connections with the Brampton town centre. It is considered to be a viable site with the potential to come forward for development within the first 5 years of the new plan period.

Developable

Site Reference: BR04 - Brampton Infant School

Location: Brampton Infant School, Moat Street, Brampton

Housing Potential: Developable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This brownfield site lies within the settlement boundary of Brampton and is adjacent to a residential area. Moat Street serves a number of older style small terraced properties, and a number of larger detached properties on larger plots, which are accessed from an extremely narrow side lane.  There is little off-street parking. Cars are parked on the eastern side of the street, virtually nose to tail. Turning is extremely difficult due to the width of the road. Access is therefore likely to be a major issue.  If this issue can be overcome by design, e.g. A zero car development, or an appropriate and suitable access and turning point, then this site would be suitable for a small housing development, (subject to access for emergency vehicles). Overcoming the access constraints may make this site unviable in the short-term.

Site Reference: BR10 - Land off Edmondson Close

Location: Land off Edmondson Close, Brampton

Housing Potential: Developable (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This large Greenfield site would be an extension to the new Edmundson Close development on the east side of Brampton. There are concerns regarding access, particularly for a potentially large site, but it is felt that there is long term potential for this land.

No Potential

Site Reference: BR02 - Land Between The Grange, Craw Hall, Brampton & Paving Brow Properties

Location: Land Between The Grange, Craw Hall, Brampton & Paving Brow Properties

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: The site forms part of the garden of The Grange, which although not listed, is a building of some character. The house, together with its extensive surrounding grounds (BR09 and this site), make a positive amenity and landscape contribution to the conservation area. The land is designated as Urban Fringe Landscape and lies outside the settlement boundary for Brampton. The site is fringed by mature trees, is gently undulating and crossed by Brampton Beck which flows into a small pond within the site. The constraints imposed on this site by the trees, access issues, pond, beck and prominent location within the conservation area make it unsuitable for housing development.

Site Reference: BR05 - The Irthing Centre, Union Lane

Location: The Irthing Centre, Union Lane, Brampton

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a brownfield site within the settlement boundary for Brampton. It is identified as a Primary Employment Area on the Local Plan proposals map. Some of the buildings are currently used as the Community Centre for Bramton. The site was also home to Brampton Business Centre, which has now closed. The site has in the past been considered as one of two sites for a new medical facility to replace the Brampton Cottage Hospital. These negotiations are no longer ongoing.

The main issue is therefore the loss of a local employment site. The Economic Action Plan drawn up by Brampton Economic Partnership identifies business improvement and investment as a priority, together with identifying and developing business opportunities and business diversification through the use of redundant or under utilised buildings.

As such this site should be retained for its potential to provide a future local employment site.

Site Reference: BR09 - Land at The Grange,

Location: Land at The Grange, Craw Hall, Brampton

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This site is an extension to BR 02. The site is dominated by mature trees which are protected by virtue of being located within Brampton Conservation Area.  Another large feature within the site is Fountain Pond, a low lying body of water between the house and Craw Hall.  Development of this site would be difficult without having an adverse impact on the existing house, the mature trees and the pond, all of which contribute to the character of this part of the conservation area.

Site Reference: BR12 - Land at Ridge Vale

Location: Land at Ridge Vale, Brampton

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: Small Greenfield site, poorly related to the settlement and with no visible means of access.

Site Reference: OC11 - Land at Quarry Bank Lane, Capon Tree Hill

Location: Land at Quarry Bank Lane Capon Tree Hill Brampton

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a greenfield site that is physically and visibly separated from the settlement boundary for Brampton by a significant distance.  The site is too small to be able to make a strategic contribution to housing in Brampton.  The development of this site would be contrary to NPPF Housing, which states that housing should be developed in suitable locations which offer a range of community facilities, and with good access to jobs, key services and infrastructure. 

Site Reference: OC37 - Land at New Mills, Brampton

Location: Land at New Mills, Brampton

Housing Potential: None (Email us about this site)

Site Assessment: This is a large greenfield site which lies within a Landscape of County Importance.  The site lies a significant distance from the settlement boundary for Brampton.  It therefore lies within open countryside.  The development of this site for housing would be contrary to NPPF Housing  which states that housing should be developed in suitable locations which offer a range of facilities, and with good access to jobs, key services and infrastructure.  Furthermore the priority for development should be previously developed land.
The RSS for the North West reflects NPPF.  Policy RDF 2 states that development in rural areas should be concentrated in key and local service centres. 
The development of this site for a retirement community would be particularly unsuitable due to the distance of the site from the centre of Brampton and all the associated medical, social and retail facilities likely to be required.
