Site of existing low-density residential development that is currently occupied by former police houses. The site is being considered for potential redevelopment and it is understood it is being marketed and is currently 'under offer'. If redeveloped, this will provide a more intensive housing scheme, at a higher density, more in keeping with local characteristics. A redevelopment proposal is will involve demolition of the existing dwellings but, once the new-build element is complete, will constitute an overall net gain. The site is identified as an allocation in the draft Local Plan (submitted May 2019) and also in the emerging Hexham Neighbourhood Plan.
