Additional Notes
Operational telephone exchange, consisting of the main building and associated land. It has been suggested in the past that the site may become surplus to requirements in future. However, the site remains operational and it has recently been confirmed that it will not be available for redevelopment in the short-term. Any timescale for this change is dependent on operational and business needs of BT. This position could change in the longer-term but no residential development is forecast within the plan period at present.
