Located outwith a settlement but does comprise brownfield land. A range of buildings and associated infrastructure had been in situ but only hardstanding and rough ground remain following clearance. The land relates to the existing dwelling immediately to the north, the entire site being in common ownership. Despite this, the initial proposals were for two small-scale scheme that together cover the whole site. An outline application for building of 2 homes on the southern part of the site was initially permitted in 2016 (16/01783/OUT). This was followed by another outline consent for the northern parcel, this time for 3 homes (17/01476/OUT). A revised detailed application for construction of 5 units has now been secured across the whole site (18/03182/FUL). This combined scheme supersedes the two smaller proposals permitted earlier. Works started on all 5 plots in 2021 and development is forecast for completion within the next 5 years. 2021-12-17 2020-12-17

As a result of the clearance, the proposal would result in the overall net loss of 7 dwellings on completion. Works commenced in March 2020 when the demolition of the redundant flats was begun.

4608a 4608a Northern Yard, Pitt Lane, Seghill 0.34 5 5 not owned by a public authority 2019-10-22 full planning permission https://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=PSZB8TQS0GN00&activeTab=summary permissioned http://northumberland.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c1b801d50f8040efbf8c9bc9f916cfae POINT(-1.551589 55.068153) Small site that formed a small part of the Seghill Colliery site, although this parcel of land has been vacant for many years. There is a complex planning history to this site, with proposals for redevelopment going back a number of years. Initial outline consent for 5 dwellings (plots 2-6) was approved in 2014. Construction commenced without detailed permission having been secured, with plot-3 being complete and another unit under-construction, before development was halted. A retrospective reserved matters was finally approved in October 2019. As at summer 2021, there are 4 units that remain outstanding, one of which has been commenced (plot-4), with work yet to start on the remaining 3 homes (plots-2, -5 & -6). However, it is understood that construction works have stalled. Until issues are resolved, the outstanding dwellings are considered developable (6-10 years) as a result of uncertainty. Deliverability will be reassessed if/when new evidence is available. NB - this is part of a wider scheme with this scheme adjacent to 3 further plots benefitting from individual full permissions (known as plots-1, -7 & -8), which are identified as separate but associated small sites in the SHLAA (4608b, 4608c, 4608d). 2021-12-17 2017-12-17
5147a 5147a Northumberland College, Ashington (buildings and hardstanding) 7.63 45 50 not owned by a public authority not permissioned http://northumberland.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c1b801d50f8040efbf8c9bc9f916cfae POINT(-1.557567 55.172327) Part of an occupied college campus that comprises of existing buildings, land and open space. The site is split in the SHLAA to reflect each element - this record specifically relates to the brownfield land (5147a). A range of buildings and outbuildings, for both teaching and supporting facilities, are on site. The site has been highlighted for redevelopment in the past but there has been recent investment in the site to indicate that this not a short-term plan. This may change if a decision was made to relocate the education facility. The adjacent open space would not be suitable for residential development (5147b). A number of years ago, an outline application for demolition of the existing college buildings and associated facilities and construction of 250 dwellings was permitted (05/00160/OUT). This lapsed without commencement. This was part of a wider project to relocate the campus to an alternative site. Since then, this plan has been reappraised, and permissions have been granted for improved and extended educational facilities (13/01934/FUL, 16/00307/FUL). Only an element of the site is likely to be available and only the brownfield element would be suitable, which is reflected in the indicative yield identified. The current availability of the site is uncertain. There still may be potential in the long-term but no residential development is forecast within the plan period at present. 2021-12-17 2019-11-19
9699 9699 1 The Haven, Prudhoe yes 0.21 not owned by a public authority 2020-05-22 full planning permission https://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=PYG1V8QSJZF00 permissioned http://northumberland.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c1b801d50f8040efbf8c9bc9f916cfae POINT(-1.612956 55.237308) Site within Prudhoe town centre, currently occupied by a staggered terrace of 10 bungalows. The current 1-bed dwellings are no longer considered suitable for modern needs. Identified for redevelopment as part of a renewal of social housing stock which is no longer fit for purpose. Clearance of the existing bungalows is required prior to new-build progressing. An application for demolition of the existing units and replacement with 6 dwellings was permitted in 2020 (19/04006/FUL). The new homes will be larger 2-bed bungalows and the development will result in the net loss of 4 units when completed. Recently confirmed that works are yet to commence and decant of the final unit is still required to enable progress. Forecast for completion within the net 5 years. 2021-12-17 2021-12-17
9741 9741 Former Ravensmount Care Home, Alnmouth Road, Alnwick yes 0.22 8 8 not owned by a public authority 2020-02-11 full planning permission https://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk/online-applications/propertyDetails.do?activeTab=relatedCases&keyVal=0004VNTGLI000 permissioned http://northumberland.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=c1b801d50f8040efbf8c9bc9f916cfae POINT(-1.683914 55.407241) Former 3-storey care home that has been closed for a number of years and is currently standing vacant. The building is deteriorating and is at risk of vandalism and the impacts of natural elements. Conversion and alteration of the building is likely to be the most appropriate method of redevelopment. Various options have been considered for the reuse of the building. An initial application for conversion to a 'boutique hotel' was approved in 2016 (16/00451/FUL). Works commenced on this project but have since stalled. After reconsideration, the owner was unable to complete the work and the project was shelved. However, a revised proposal for conversion to 8 flats was approved in 2021. Scheme involves demolition of the old laundry and timber out buildings and retention of the main building for conversion to 'luxury apartments' across three-storeys. As the original permission (2016) for conversion to a hotel has been implemented and it will not lapse, theoretically either scheme could still be progressed. However, it is understood the intention of the landowner/developer is to delivery the residential scheme. Forecast for completion within the next 5 years. 2021-12-17 2021-12-17
