LVA successfully promoted this 5.3-acre site located within the contiguous built-up area of Merriott village.

Given the absence of a five-year housing land supply in the District, it was LVA’s view that great emphasis should be placed on the need to deliver new housing in sustainable locations and on sites such as this that are suitable for development. 

An outline planning application proposing up to 50 dwellings with access, landscaping, drainage, parking and pedestrian footpaths was formally approved in February 2020, with an onward sale of the site to be agreed shortly.
