Summary
This application discharges condition 5 of a previously approved planning permission (DM/25/02400/FPA). The condition required the applicant to submit a Written Scheme of Investigation — a plan setting out how any archaeological remains on the site would be properly recorded before building work begins. The council has now approved that scheme. Hillside House sits within the Mordon Conservation Area, a designated heritage setting. There are around 56 properties within a short distance of the site. The nearest school, hospital, and fire station are each a short drive away. A Heritage Impact Assessment was not submitted as part of this application, which could be a concern given the conservation area location. The condition has been approved, so any archaeological investigation may now proceed under the agreed scheme.
