In our opinion, the site holds promising potential for development, particularly as a rural social housing exception scheme under policy COM8. Recognised in the TVBC 2020-21 SHELAA document, it hints at the possibility of accommodating around five dwellings, with prospects for more. While development here aligns with the need for high-quality materials due to its proximity to a listed building, this requirement is a testament to the site's distinguished location. The demand for affordable housing within the borough, especially in smaller villages, positions this land as a valuable opportunity. It offers a chance to contribute positively to the community by providing much-needed housing stock that respects and enhances the local environment and heritage.
