Green Batt Library, Alnwick

Notes

Historic building of traditional stone construction located within Alnwick town centre, which was vacated in 2019. Although not listed, the building is still of heritage significance, and retention and reuse is preferred. Dating from 1810, the building had operated as a school until 1921 before being utilised to house the library for the town for many years. It has been unused following the relocation of the library to Alnwick Playhouse in 2019. Available for redevelopment and conversion is considered the most appropriate approach. A proposal for part demolition, alteration, conversion and extension to 4 homes was permitted in 2019 (19/00078/FUL). The scheme is for 2 houses and 2 bungalows. Now classified as a 'small site' in the SHLAA and the site falls below the threshold required for inclusion on the Brownfield Land Register.
