12-16 Bridge Street (evens) and 2-10 Union Street (evens), Blyth

Notes

Existing three-storey commercial premises located within Blyth town centre. Comprises of occupied retail units at ground-floor level with largely vacant storage space above. Indicative yield and density reflects potential to utilise the upper floors of existing building for flats. Previously identified promoted as having potential for conversion to housing. Permission for a comprehensive and complex redevelopment to provide 9 flats was permitted in 2011 (11/03042/FUL). The residential aspect would convert and refurbish the first and second floor space to flats. It also included approval to extend the floorspace of the ground floor retail units. However, this proposal was not progressed and permission has since lapsed. There has been no recent proposal for redevelopment of the site, and no update from the landowner, so the current availability of the site is somewhat uncertain. Any development is likely to be in the longer-term (11 to 15 years).
