Largely vacant land that has been utilised as an overflow space for the adjacent boatyard. Offers a highly attractive location for new housing at Amble harbour. A higher density flatted scheme may be most fitting to maximise the location and potential. This land had been identified as redevelopment opportunity for several years, including being earmarked as part of proposals for redevelopment of a much larger area of land. Earlier permission included provision for 127 apartments and associated retail and office development, but lapsed without implementation (A/2006/0500). A revised scheme construction of 17 apartments, in three five-storey blocks, as part of a mixed-use redevelopment permitted (13/03731/FUL). This only related to this particular parcel. It also included construction of commercial units providing a mix of retail and office space (A1, A2, B1). Development of 17 dwellings completed in 2017/18.
