Storey Crescent (land at), Newbiggin-by-the-Sea

Site previously occupied by semi-detached homes but now largely vacant following the clearance of a large area of social housing stock. A few isolated dwellings remain, those in private ownership, but this represents a very small proportion of the original estate. The land is still in the ownership of a registered provider and there is scope for a relatively extensive regeneration project. It is understood that it is not intended to develop this site immediately, but that it is an option for the future. The timing of this decision will be made to meet the future requirements of the social housing stock in South East Northumberland, following an assessment of current future needs. Latterly, the site has been identified as a housing allocation in the Newbiggin Neighbourhood Plan (2023). Reflecting that it is a preferred site for future development, delivery is now forecast for the medium- to longer-term (6 to 10 years and beyond).
