Site within Berwick town centre, historically occupied by a brewery, then a museum, but latterly now disused. A range of industrial and commercial buildings remain on-site, all now vacant and somewhat dilapidated. The site lies immediately adjacent to the Grade II* listed Governor's House and, although not directly impacted by the proposal, it remains important for context and setting. The complex comprises of 12 discreet but largely inter-connected buildings. Some of these require demolition prior to redevelopment of the site. The history of this site is linked to an associated but geographically separate parcel of land to the north (1046b). An initial application for 66 dwellings covered both site and was permitted in 2011 (N/06/B/0714). Since then, the two schemes have largely progressed independently, essentially as two phases to a wider development. However, the two parcels remained linked through the extant planning permissions. This record is for phase-1. Specifically for this parcel, the original permission was for selective demolition of redundant non-listed buildings and construction of 15 new-build homes, alongside the alteration and conversion of a Grade II listed former pottery to create 6 further dwellings. The conversion element was also subject to separate listed building consent, first permitted in 2009 and renewed in 2012 (N/06/B/0719, 12/01222/LBC). Phase-1 of the scheme has now been delivered, after a development of 21 dwellings was completed in 2016 (1046a). There has been no progress to date with the residential aspect of phase-2 (1046b). However, the original 2006 permission for the remaining site will not lapse, as the overall permission has been implemented. Taking account of amendments to the original scheme, the overall scheme will see the delivery of 66 dwellings on final completion. Phase-1 (1046a) completed in 2016/17.
