Longstone House Hotel, 182 Main Street, North Sunderland

Operating hotel business in the centre of Seahouses that may offer potential for redevelopment for residential use. A conversion scheme was proposed a number of years ago. A permission for conversion to provide 9 apartments lapsed was granted in 2007, and later renewed, but eventually lapsed without being implemented (N/06/B/1002, N/10/B/012). This scheme involved partial demolition and alteration of the existing building. Indicative yield is of a relatively high density, but reflective of a conversion scheme for flats and would be fitting for the location. The demolition aspect of the works was subject to a separate approval (N/06/B/1003). However, as there is an existing use/business in situ, and because there has been no indication in many years that there is an intention to relocated and/or redevelop the site, there is no evidence to suggest this has potential to provide new housing. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
