Redlands

Phase 1 – The Garden Site (edged blue)
An area to the north known as The Garden Site comprises the former gardens of the main house. The site extends to approximately 2 acres, which together with adjoining land to the north, (collectively referred to as Redlands in the Local Plan) is allocated for residential development under Policy SS3.7 of the Local Plan, for the creation of a total of 165 homes. An outline application for the creation of 150 new homes (ref 16/02457/OUT) was approved in September 2017 for an area of land immediately to the north. A subsequent reserved matters approval was granted consent (19/02773/RES) in August 2020. The site is currently being developed by Bellway Homes.
The Garden Site is considered suitable for the creation of approximately 15 dwellings, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The site has been
the subject of two withdrawn planning applications (16/04727/FUL & 18/00168/FUL).

Phase 2 – Redlands (edged green)
The main house, known as Redlands, is an 8-bedroom Edwardian Country House extending to approximately 4,675 sq ft, which has four bathrooms, three reception rooms, a large kitchen and family areas, garden, swimming pool, cinema, and games room. There is a timber framed barn used as a garage, which has three stables and a workshop. The house is in need of a comprehensive refurbishment. The house, outbuildings and gardens site extends to approximately 2.1 acres.

The land has not been designated as development land in the Local Plan, however the Council has previously agreed that this part of the site falls within the
definition of previously developed land as a residential garden outside of the builtup area. The land is therefore considered suitable for residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The site has been the subject of a single withdrawn planning application (18/00606/OUT).

Phase 3 – 13 Acre Field (edged red)
The land, which extends to 13.82 acres, has been promoted to the Council on several occasions through the Local Plan process and remains in the Council’s
database of available land. In the last Local Plan enquiry, the land was treated as an omission site during the Examination because of concerns as to whether it could achieve acceptable odour standards. It is understood a subsequent report demonstrated that odour levels on the unallocated land at Redlands were
deemed acceptable. Whilst the land was not included as an allocation in the Local Plan and therefore remains in the open countryside, it is likely to be considered as part of any future consultation on proposed site allocations.
