Site currently occupied by a range of interconnected buildings that are in various uses, comprising traditional structures and more modern extensions. There are businesses operating from the site, including a health/fitness centre, which may require relocation if redevelopment were to be pursued. Demolition of the existing buildings will be required before a scheme can progress. A scheme at a slightly higher yield may be suitable given the central location, potentially through an apartment/flatted scheme, with a capacity of 8 dwellings considered fitting. Recently confirmed the site is being actively marketed for redevelopment. Currently considered developable later in the medium-term (6 to 10 years). Allocated for housing in the Northumberland Local Plan (2022) and also in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021) (Site H 1-7).
