Plots 1, 2, & 3, Weetwood Road, Wooler

Vacant brownfield land within Wooler which was previously the site of a commercial garage. The land has been subject to several applications over recent years, and a number of applications are relevant, together enabling the final development of 5 dwellings. An initial outline permission for demolition of the vacant garage and construction of 3 dwellings was permitted in 2004 (N/04/B/0309). This was followed by a reserved matters application for construction of these 3 dwellings, permitted in 2009 (N/09/B/0494). This detailed approval was for plot-1, plot-2, and plot-3. After this, the scheme was redesigned and proposals were made to change the layout and increase the yield to a total of 5 homes. These alterations did not increase the site area, simply provided a more intensive scheme on the same land area. Detailed applications have followed for the final 2 units and also for the redesign of 1 dwellings that was permitted earlier. To date, 4 dwellings have been completed, but the final unit (plot-5) remains under-construction. This is forecast to be completed in the next five years to finish the overall site.
