Optimis obtained consent for 4 dwellings on part of a 2-acre site that lay within the defined boundary of the village. The surplus land was outside the settlement boundary and was acquired by clients to deliver 20 dwellings located on the surplus land was considered exceptional to countryside policy because it generated the funding to deliver a range of substantial community benefits including a new community centre for £1.7m
Optimis worked over a three-year period as part of a village working group to deliver a development that met the varying needs of village groups, organisations and the Parish Council. The project was heralded as significant success in the District to the extent that a new policy was formed in the emerging development plan to cater for such community led schemes.
