Part of an existing industrial site towards the edge of Bedlington. Elements of the site remain in use for car parking but the vast majority is now vacant following clearance of former factory buildings. A number of years ago this site was identified as a potential redevelopment opportunity, perhaps in as part of a wider scheme along with adjacent land (5172). Indicative yield highlighted recognises potential for development at a slightly higher density, in keeping with the setting and nearby residential development. However, the site remains part of a larger area occupied by an electrical business, with recent proposals for renewal and improvement of industrial buildings having been permitted on the adjacent site (see 5172). There has been no contact with the landowner for a number of years and this, along with the fact that there has been no recent indication of relocation and/or change in circumstances, means that the site is not available for redevelopment. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
