Fernhill Heath is a large village identified as a Category 2 settlement within the development plan.

The project will also include building vehicular access from Dilmore Lane, pedestrian and cycle links, public open space, car parking spaces, and a drainage system, as well as engaging in landscaping and other associated infrastructure.

A statement included with the application read: “The development here will cater for a range of house types and sizes for a variety of community needs, including adaptable homes and some self-build plots to allow people to build their own home – it will also provide much-needed affordable housing at a time when housing affordability is challenging for many, including first homes for new first time purchasers.

“Fernhill Heath is a sustainable location for the scale of development proposed. It has successfully accommodated some additional housing developments in the recent past, and this is a suitable site, within walking distance of local shops and services, as well as public transport.”
