Additional Notes
Cleared site within the existing urban area, previously occupied by sheltered housing scheme, but site now vacant following relocation of residents and demolition in 2016. Offers opportunity for urban infill scheme within Ashington. The replacement of the former care home with more suitable dwellings, better meeting current housing need, was progressed as part of a process of renewal and regeneration of social housing stock. An application for construction of 8 new dwellings was permitted in 2019 (19/02032/FUL). Construction works commenced shortly afterwards, with 7 completions identified in 2020/21. This left just the final unit outstanding. However, the developer confirmed the outstanding unit was actually completed in October 2020. NB - for monitoring purposes, the completion of this final unit is recorded in 2021/22 to avoid retrospective change to figures.
