Consent gained for homes and employment space after council refusal overturned
Pegasus Group has secured outline planning permission for up to 50 new homes with 20% affordable housing provision, and over 26,500 sq ft of employment space at Brandesburton, East Yorkshire.
The development is designed for a largely brownfield site, which is currently used for a variety of employment and agricultural uses including a pig farm complex.
The scheme, which will also deliver new public open space and landscaping, was originally refused by East Riding of Yorkshire Council for being outside of the settlement boundary and therefore against the adopted local plan, but the planning inspector disagreed.
She concluded that while the scheme was outside of the settlement limits of Brandesburton, it represented an important windfall site.
She said it would offer landscape and urban realm improvements at the entrance to the village, in light of Government objectives to boost the supply of housing.
Chris Calvert, executive director at Pegasus Group, said: “This appeal win is fantastic news for our clients who look forward to delivering a scheme that will make brilliant use of an unsightly brownfield site and will support the local housing market and the rural economy.”
Pegasus Group acted as project manager, led on the site master planning, landscape design, economic benefits, highways, flood risk assessment and co-ordinated the planning application and subsequent appeal.
Support was provided by Squire Patton Boggs for the Section 106 agreement, Lithos for ground conditions, Wright Environmental for ecology and Airshed for noise and air quality matters.
