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).
