Graves Yard behind Army Reserve Centre, Hexham

Site to west of the town centre site comprising a number of buildings along with associated storage land. The eastern building is warehouse of traditional construction that is currently occupied by an antique furniture restorer. The western part of the site is home to a car repair business and comprises of two modern workshop buildings. These operational businesses are likely to required relocation to new premises prior to any redevelopment. Demolition of the buildings and any necessary remediation of the site would also be required. A scheme at a slightly higher yield may be suitable given the central location. An apartment/flatted scheme could be fitting and an indicative yield of around 8 units could appropriate. Recently confirmed (EiP 2020) that whilst the site is not being actively marketed by the landowner at present, future options are being appraised. Currently considered developable later in the medium- to longer-term (6 to 10 years). Allocated for housing in the Northumberland Local Plan (2022) and also in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021) (Site H 1-8).
