Woodhorn Road, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea (brownfield parcel)

Notes

Site that latterly has been used as a car park for the adjacent leisure centre. Prior to this, it had functioned as a lorry park and before this had originally been part of wider industrial land. Mainly brownfield, with this element of the site able to support development above the necessary threshold. Brownfield parcel (0.16ha) represents around 50% of the site area - yield of around 6 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 5116) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 0.30ha. Yield identified reflects appropriate density given the location within Newbiggin. This site has been earmarked for potential redevelopment for a number of years. In 2003 permission was granted for construction of a unit supporting business/office floorspace, but the scheme was never delivered and the permission lapsed (03/00126/FUL). It has been confirmed that the site remains available for redevelopment. Currently forecast as developable in the medium-term (6 to 10 years).
