Additional Notes
Hospital land and buildings within the existing urban environment. Site is now surplus and offers opportunity for extensive redevelopment, potentially through a combination of conversion of existing buildings and/or new-build development. Identified as an allocation in the draft Local Plan (submitted May 2019) and also reflected in the emerging draft Hexham Neighbourhood Plan. Site is also a saved Tynedale Local Plan allocation. Two pre-apps were submitted for consideration in 2018 - first for conversion and extension of existing buildings to provide 33 apartments on the western part of the site and second for 48 retirement apartments on the eastern section.
