Operational Royal Mail depot located in Morpeth town centre, comprising of the main delivery office within parking and storage land to the rear. New premises would be required for relocation. Some time ago, it was highlighted that the site may have potential for redevelopment. However, the most recent update has confirmed that the depot is not currently surplus and will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. Any timescale for a change in this position is dependent on operational and business needs of Royal Mail. As an existing business remains operating from the site, and there has been no recent indication of relocation and/or change in circumstances, any redevelopment will be in the long-term. This position could change in the longer-term but no residential development is forecast within the plan period at present.
Royal Mail Depot, 18-22 Oldgate, Morpeth
