Three-storey flat-roofed building dating from the 1960s located in Hexham town centre. Currently occupied by retail and commercial uses at ground-floor level. The upper floors had previously been utilised as a nightclub and sports bar but have been vacant since closure and there is now scope for conversion to flats. This would provide additional residential units in the town centre at an appropriate density. Application for alteration and conversion of first- and second-floor floorspace to create 12 apartments was permitted in 2020 (19/04545/FUL). The existing retail and commercial uses at ground-floor level are not affected by the proposal and will remain in situ. Works commenced in 2023. Development of 12 dwellings completed in 2023/24.
