Former local authority offices within a town centre location. The site also includes the associated car park. Largely vacant and out of use and the building is highly likely to be surplus to requirements in the medium-term. However, a small element of the building is occupied by a tenant, so it would not be available for redevelopment immediately. Demolition and clearance of existing buildings will be required prior to progression of a scheme. An above average density could be suitable given the central location within Bedlington. Recently confirmed that the it is intended to redevelop the site in the longer-term, and that the site will become available once the extant lease expires. Due to this context, the site is currently only considered developable beyond the plan period (16+ years). This position will be reviewed once further evidence is available.
