Walkergate, Alnwick (brownfield parcel)

Notes

Site within Alnwick comprising a redundant tennis court and other vacant land, which was at one time occupied by allotments. Permission in place for construction of 15 residential dwellings and associated landscaping and infrastructure (A/2010/0450). This has been implemented by the construction of an access road. The brownfield element (0.32ha) represents around two-thirds of site - a yield of around 5 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 0280) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 0.96ha. Despite there being no substantive progress to date on the residential aspect of the development, the permission has been implemented through initial site works, so it will not lapse. Developer confirms the project is deliverable and final completion is currently forecast within the next five years. NB - a related proposal for a 47-room hotel immediately adjacent was permitted in April 2021 (20/01238/FUL). Involves a mix of conversion of a listed building and a new-build extension. This project complements the original residential scheme and the masterplan for the hotel includes these 15 dwellings.
