Additional Notes
Former school site in a rural village in North Northumberland. Now surplus and available following closure in 2010. The redundant buildings require demolition prior to redevelopment. These consist of poor-quality pre-fab buildings, dating from the 1970s. Permission secured in 2016 for construction of 6 bungalows in replacement (15/00102/FUL). The scheme is to provide homes for affordable rent and is limited to the brownfield land, exclusive of adjacent open space. Works underway, with 3 units completed to date, and the remaining 3 plots forecast for completion within the next five 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.
