Additional Notes

Mixed site to edge of town centre that consists of both brownfield and greenfield land. Currently part utilised for caravan storage. A number of constraints are identified but if these can be addressed then a residential development could be taken forward. This is unlikely to be in the short-term due to the existing use. Brownfield in part (0.19ha) - indicative yield of around 5 dwellings appropriate for this parcel. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 2628) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 1.10ha. Redevelopment could potentially be progressed as part of a group of adjacent sites (2040, 2628, 9136). Recently confirmed that redevelopment of the land is being considered and that a residential scheme is likely to be proposed in due course. Currently considered developable in the medium-term (6 to 10 years). Allocated for residential development in the Northumberland Local Plan (March 2022) and also in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021) .

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.
