Railway Inn and New Dolphin Inn, Newbiggin-by-the-Sea

Notes

Land in the centre of Newbiggin that has been occupied by various buildings and uses, including two public houses, and associated ancillary buildings. Both pubs had been disused for a number of years and would need to be demolished prior to redevelopment. The site was originally identified for mixed-use scheme, being part of a wider proposal for the relocation of Newbiggin Library. An initial permission for construction of a three-storey building was granted in 2015 (15/01569/CCD). This was to provide floorspace for the library at ground floor with 8 affordable apartments above. This scheme was then amended in 2017 with the ground-floor being altered to provide retail/commercial units instead (17/02423/COU). This was due to the preferred location for the new library being changed to another site. Works commenced on the revised scheme in 2017. Development of 8 dwellings completed in 2017/18.
