Telephone Exchange Gaprigg (East), Hexham

Notes

Land occupied by a telephone exchange, consisting of hardstanding that is used for storage and car parking. Facility remains in operational use and is not currently available, although it has been suggested in the past that the site may become surplus. Any timescale for this change is dependent on operational and business needs of BT. Likely to be delivered as part of wider scheme comprising the exchange building and associated land (2616, 2615). The site is allocated for residential development in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021). The landowner has confirmed that the site will not be available for redevelopment for the foreseeable future, but that this position could change in the longer-term. At present, no residential development is anticipated in the plan period, with any potential forecast for the long-term (16+ years).
