Additional Notes
Site within Bedlington town centre that is vacant following earlier clearance. Originally occupied by a Tesco foodstore, this was demolished a number of years ago, the remainder being existing a car park and area of vacant land. Redevelopment to provide a mixed-use scheme has been the preferred option for the future of the site. An original outline consent for a wide range of uses including retail, commercial, business, and leisure as well as up to 12 dwellings, was approved in 2017 (17/00444/OUT). Two detailed permissions have since been granted for development, comprising phase-a (19/04899/REM) and phase-b (18/01658/REM). The residential element is included in phase-b, but the proposal has been reduced to 4 apartments (18/01658/REM). Now classified as a 'small site' in the SHLAA and the site falls below the threshold required for inclusion on the Brownfield Land Register.
