Hadston Industrial Estate (North), Hadston

Vacant land that forms part of a larger industrial estate. This particular parcel has been unused for over a decade and comprises of hardstanding and overgrown areas following earlier clearance of a range of buildings. The southern part of the estate is in control of Homes England and comprises of two parcels that are surplus and available for redevelopment (3052, 3053). To the north, the site continues to be occupied by a range of business and a number of commercial and industrial units are in situ. Any partial redevelopment of the site would need to carefully consider the needs of operational employment land to the north and the relationship to adjacent housing. An initial outline application for demolition and redevelopment for 65 homes was submitted for consideration in 2017, but was later withdrawn in 2018 prior to determination (17/01887/OUT). Whilst this proposal was not progressed, it encompassed the two vacant adjacent parcels of land (3052, 3053). Despite this, the landowner indicated that they were still intent on bringing the site forward for redevelopment. Subsequently, a revised application for 75 homes was approved in 2024 (21/02551/FUL). Again, this incorporates both parcels of land. Site works commenced in March 2025 and the first completions are anticipated for 2025/26. The overall scheme is considered deliverable, with all units forecast for completion within the coming five years.
