The site, formerly home to F. & L. Smout & Sons along Woods Lane, is proposed to be cleared to make way for a development featuring 82 houses and 15 flats. The redevelopment application, submitted by Mark Grady of Liberty Developments, highlights that about half the buildings on the site are vacant and many are in poor condition.
