13 Allensgreen, Church Street, Cramlington

Notes

Existing apartment block and adjacent land within Cramlington. This has been identified as an opportunity for intensification in the past. Any redevelopment is likely to be through a combination of conversion, extension and remodelling of the existing building, along with additional new-build construction. From 2007 onwards, a number of applications to this effect have been permitted, and renewed, but all have lapsed without work starting (B/07/00447/FUL, 11/01565/FUL, 16/00880/FUL). The nature of each is scheme was essential the same. The last approval dating from 2016 was for the alteration of the building to create 4 additional flats and demolition of a domestic garage and replacement by 1 new dwelling. The existing apartment block currently contains 8 flats, the proposed works would have resulted in 13 units on the site on completion (5 net additions). It was confirmed recently (EiP 2020) that the remained available but it that it may have to be sold prior to scheme progressing. However, in 2024 a new proposal was approved for the refurbishment of existing residential block (24/00902/FUL). The proposed works would reconfigure the block from the current 8 two-bed flats to create 8 one-bed flats for supported living (C3 use). No longer considered developable/developable and any future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
