RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH LAPSED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR 2 SEMI DETACHED HOUSES.
STATUS The two plots on offer benefits from lapsed planning permission (1997), for 2 x three bedroom semi detached family homes. Planning permission was granted in the late 1990s for 6 dwelling houses at Hoprig Square [97/00434/FUL]. An outline proposal to resubmit planning was drawn up in 2019. The drawings from this outline Planning permission proposal (not finalised) was drawn up in 2019 to reapply but subsequently withdrawn. Historical foundations have been laid, but are in but well over grown and may likely need to be replaced under a new application.
From October 2020, the Planning Officer for Scottish Borders Council believes that a new application for planning permission could be supported for two units at this site.
