Anchor Garage, Shaftoe Street, Haydon Bridge

Notes

Commercial garage site within Haydon Bridge, vacant since 2012, following relocation of the business to new premises in the village. Demolition of the garage building and remediation required prior to redevelopment. A number of similar schemes have been proposed over the years. An initial proposal for 7 units was refused 2006 (T/20060983). An outline consent was then permitted in 2009 for 6 units, but lapsed (T/20071371).This was followed by permission for a similar scheme approved in 2009, also for 6 dwellings, which also lapsed (13/03434/FUL). Finally, an application for clearance and construction of 9 flats was permitted in 2017 (17/01547/FUL). The scheme comprises a block of self-contained flats (C3), providing assisted living for young adults with learning disabilities, alongside supporting facilities. The property is to be managed by a registered social landlord. Development of 9 dwellings completed in 2019/20.
