Additional Notes
Former railway land within the defined settlement boundary. It has been vacant for many years, having not been used since closure of the railway towards Kielder and Riccarton Junction. The site is on the alignment of the old trackbed and also incorporates land previously utilised for cattle pens. Offers potential for small-scale residential scheme within the settlement, with yield indicated representative of the identified site constraints. Although it has been highlighted as available in the past, the current status of the site is uncertain, as there has been no recent update from the landowner. There is still potential in the long-term but at present residential development is forecast for the longer-term (11 to 15 years).
