The outline planning permission (granted in July 2024) established the principle and key parameters for development on the site.
The next step in planning is the Reserved Matters stage. This involves submitting detailed planning applications to agree the specific elements for each phase of the development, not covered in the outline permission. This includes housing design, access, landscaping, and public open spaces.
Enabling works, such as site clearance and archaeological studies, can begin before Reserved Matters are approved and once certain planning conditions attached to the outline permission have been met. This is known as being ‘discharged’.
