Warehouse to the rear of Jubilee Terrace, Bedlington

Industrial workshop and land that were originally utilised for the storage and maintenance of heavy goods vehicles and plant. More recently, the premises have been occupied by a commercial garage, for car servicing and repair. Chance for small-scale infill scheme within the existing urban environment, following demolition and any necessary remediation. Higher density of development indicated recognises the location and the nature of likely flat/apartment development. Consent previously granted for construction of 6 flats in 2008 but this lapsed (08/00326/FUL). The use of the site as a garage was enabled by subsequent permission dating from 2012 (11/01433/FUL). This also permitted temporary siting of a residential caravan. A more recent proposal to extend the garage facilities was refused in 2016 (15/03760/FUL). The current availability of the site is uncertain, as there has been no update from the landowner in recent times, and no further proposals for (re)development. Any development is likely to be in the longer-term (11 to 15 years).
