Access, layout, scale, appearance and landscaping remain reserved, except for four new vehicular access points. The decision letter and inspector’s report are available in a 163‑page PDF published on 2 April 2026. The approved uses cover Class C3 for dwellings and care homes, Class E and B2/B8 for employment land, and Class F1 and F2 for the local centre and supporting infrastructure. Greenspace provision and ancillary works are also included in the plan.
