Farmways Site, Corbridge Road, Hexham

Site largely occupied as premises for an agricultural merchant, comprising a main commercial building and associated land for open air storage and parking. There is also some further undeveloped land to the rear. Has been highlighted as potentially offering an opportunity for redevelopment but this would be dependent of relocation of the existing business to new premises. Located at the edge of the settlement but there is potential to complement surrounding development, as land to both the east and west has recently been developed for residential use. However, as there is an existing use/business in situ, and because there has been no indication in many years that there is an intention to relocated and/or redevelop the site, there is no evidence to suggest this has potential to provide new housing. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
