Northern Yard, Pitt Lane, Seghill

Notes

Small site that formed a part of the Seghill Colliery complex, although this particular parcel has been vacant for many years. There is a complex planning history to this site, with proposals for redevelopment going back a number of years. An initial outline consent for 5 dwellings (relating to plots 2 to 6) was approved in 2014 (11/00791/OUT). Construction commenced without detailed permission having been secured, with plot-3 being complete and another unit under-construction, before development was halted. A retrospective reserved matters was finally approved in October 2019 (19/01893/REM). At present, 2 units have been completed (plot-3 and plot-4) and 3 dwellings remain outstanding (plots-2, -5 & -6). Of the latter, plot-5 and plot-6 have commenced. However, it is understood that construction works have stalled. Whilst the permission will not lapse, and the theoretical capacity from the extant planning permission remains, the future delivery of all outstanding units is currently discounted. If/when new information becomes available to suggest a change to this position, then deliverability can be appraised. NB - this is part of a wider scheme with this scheme adjacent to 3 further plots benefitting from individual full permissions (known as plots-1, -7 & -8), which are identified as separate but associated small sites in the SHLAA (4608b, 4608c, 4608d).
