Joint venture lodges masterplan for more than 50 homes

A planning application has been submitted to turn the former Bramham House site into a mix of new homes.

Joint venture developers Bramham House Ltd and Simpson have amended the masterplan for the site following public consultation earlier in the year, with key changes made to improve the plans and ensure they are sympathetic to the village.  

These include the retention of more trees, a new public space in the centre of the site and improvements to Freely Lane.  

In total there are 56 new homes planned across the site in mix of two, three and four bed properties, along with the rebuilding of the original Bramham house façade, as part of the landscape-led masterplan.

A spokesman from the developer said: “Feedback through consultation, along with discussions with council officers has resulted in improvements to the vision for the site and we’ve been very encouraged with the response from the local community about the plans. 

“Our aim is to give this important site a sustainable new future, through a sympathetic development.”  

These proposals build on a previous planning permission for the site for a care-led development but these proved to be unviable.  

The design team includes Vincent and Partners, Re-form landscape architects and ID Planning. Bramham House has been derelict for a number of years.
