7C Netherton Lane and land to the east and south east, Bedlington

Notes

Land within an existing residential area that is part occupied by an existing dwelling. The remainder is vacant hardstanding and rough ground that is occupied by a single dilapidated outbuilding. On the western part of the site there is a bungalow in situ, whilst the central and eastern elements are derelict land previously occupied by commercial uses. This land had a number of uses prior to clearance, included a gym, supermarket, and stables. Potential to provide an infill scheme, either in whole or part. If the whole site is redevelopment, demolition of the existing property likely to be part of an intensification scheme. Identified for redevelopment for a number of years. An initial outline permission was approved many years ago in 2003 for construction of 10 homes on the vacant land (03/00250/OUT). This lapsed without a start being made. More recently, outline permission was granted in 2021 for clearance of the remaining buildings and redevelopment with 16 dwellings (18/02329/OUT). This proposal encompasses the whole site. A reserved matters application for 13 dwellings was submitted in 2024 (24/03741/REM). This remains pending. At present a yield of 16 dwellings (15 net) is forecast as deliverable within the next five years. If the current reserved matters application is permitted, the identified yield will be altered to 13 dwellings (12 net).
