Link House Buildings and Land, Links Road, Blyth (brownfield parcel)

Notes

Area of land at the edge of the settlement that is part occupied by derelict outbuildings, with the remainder being a paddock. The site was previously occupied by a residential property, but this had been cleared at an earlier date. It has been subject to numerous redevelopment proposals for a range of uses over the years. An outline permission for 15 new build dwellings and a pub/hotel, was permitted in 2010 but lapsed without progress (B/09/S/00330/OUT). Another hybrid application for a variety of uses, including a 30-bed hotel (C1), was submitted in 2018 but was later withdrawn (18/04255/FUL). Another application was permitted in 2020 for a mixed-use scheme (19/04140/FUL). This has potential for retail, food and drink, leisure and business floorspace but does not include any residential development. Although the SHLAA site is mixed, the reduced yield indicated recognises a focus on the brownfield aspect (0.51ha). For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 4669) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 1.36ha. Site works commenced on the non-residential scheme in 2023. Despite this, there still may be potential remaining on land not covered by the current permission, and it is understood that the landowner is still keen to consider further residential development alongside the commercial floorspace. Currently considered developable later in the plan period (11 to 15 years).
