Haulage Garage, Hexham

This land is now disused but had previously be utilised as a haulage depot, comprising a garage building and hardstanding. Highlighted for potential redevelopment along with the adjacent site (9121, 9122). Offers a good opportunity for a small infill scheme in Hexham. Across the two parcels, the former dwelling and haulage garage were earmarked for demolition. In 2018, an initial application was refused for 7 homes (17/04396/FUL). A revised proposal for construction of 5 homes was subsequently permitted in 2019 (19/01224/FUL). The approved scheme is for 2 dormer bungalows and 3 townhouses (4 net additions). Clearance began in 2020, with a start made on housebuilding in 2021. Development of 5 dwellings (4 net) was completed in 2023/24. NB - demolition element of this development was accounted for in the 2020/21 monitoring year. Sites are also identified as a combined allocation in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021).
