Additional Notes

Former railway land adjacent to the Tyne Valley line, which was part of the former goods yard at Haydon Bridge station and a gasworks. It is now vacant and no longer in use. Identified as having potential for redevelopment to provide residential units, with a smaller-scale scheme probably being appropriate given the identified constraints. Contamination highly likely as a legacy of the historic use, and remediation will need to be undertaken prior to development. The indicative density recognises the setting and constraints to development, although this could offer a highly attractive location for a residential development. Recently confirmed that the site is available for redevelopment and a proposal is being considered in due course. Currently considered developable in the medium-term (6 to 10 years).

What is Brownfield Land?

Brownfield land is previously developed land that may be available for redevelopment. The government prioritises brownfield development over greenfield sites to protect countryside and make efficient use of existing infrastructure. Local authorities maintain Brownfield Land Registers to identify suitable sites for housing.
