Allerburn House, Alnwick

Redevelopment of site currently occupied by a range of vacant buildings, latterly used as local authority office space. Potential opportunity for conversion and new-build on site. Planning permission in place for a total of 19 units (16/03770/FUL). The proposal involves a complex range of works, including partial demolition of various buildings and modern extensions and the refurbishment, alteration and conversion of remaining buildings, including Allerburn House and The Lodge. This will create 10 dwellings with new-build development providing a further 10 homes. A later application to replace some of the conversion proposals with additional new-build was refused in 2018 (18/02811/FUL). Subsequently, the original scheme has been amended to reduce the overall total to 19 homes, but retaining the emphasis on conversion. Development has now commenced and completion is forecast within the next 5 years.
