East Cramlington Farm House, The Paddock, Cramlington

Notes

Former farmstead, consisting of vacant former agricultural buildings and adjacent land towards the eastern edge of Cramlington. Originally a working farm, it has been utilised as an equestrian centre in latter years. Three main buildings are in situ, along with additional outbuildings, all of which are in varying states of disrepair, some being derelict. Opportunity for redevelopment, potentially through conversion of the existing buildings an/or new-build. There is a long planning history to the site and it has been highlighted to provide a residential scheme for several years. An outline permission was originally granted in 1999 for conversion of the farm buildings to 7 homes and construction of 1 further dwelling (B/99/C/0195/P). However, this lapsed due to non-implementation. A revised outline planning permission for up to 9 homes, also through of conversion and new-build aspects, was later granted in 2007 but again lapsed without implementation (B/07/00533/OUT). More recently allocated for housing site in the Cramlington Neighbourhood Plan (2020). Relatively low density identified recognises constraints. The current availability of the site is uncertain. There still may be potential in the long-term but residential development is forecast beyond the plan period.
