The facility is no longer operational but a range of industrial buildings and associated infrastructure remains in situ, along with the associated storage land and hardstanding. Despite peripheral setting there could be scope for redevelopment through a small-scale residential project on part of the site. The overall SHLAA site is mixed in nature but the reduced yield indicated recognises a focus on the brownfield parcel. Brownfield element (0.49ha) considered to be suitable for small-scale development - a yield of around 5 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (2379) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 0.84ha. A former Tynedale Local Plan allocation for 10 dwellings covered part of site. The current availability of the site is uncertain, as there has been no recent update from the landowner. There still may be potential in the long-term but no residential development is forecast within the plan period at present. | 2023-12-17 | 2017-12-17 | |||||||||

The land as been out of use for a number of years, with the most recent use being as open-air storage. It currently remains in Network Rail ownership, but it has been earmarked for redevelopment for a number of years. The Tyne Valley railway line is immediately to the north and River South Tyne adjacent to south.. Setting offers a potentially attractive location for residential development, although some constraints of access are identified. Remediation also likely due to former use. Outline permission for residential development of up to 50 homes was secured in 2008 but lapsed (T/20041143). An application was submitted in 2011 to extend this, but was eventually disposed without determination (11/00905/FUL). A former Tynedale Local Plan allocation for 30 dwellings also covered the site. Whilst the previous consent was for up to 50 dwellings, a reduced indicative yield of 30 units is identified in the SHLAA, appropriate given the setting and site constraints. Recently confirmed (EiP 2020) that the land is still available for redevelopment, and that a proposal for a revised residential scheme is to be considered again. Currently considered developable later in the medium- to longer-term (6-10 years). | 2022-12-12 | 2017-12-17 | |||||||
| 2470x | 2470x | Newlands (former Marley Tiles Factory) (brownfield parcel) | 3.49 | 0 | 0 | not-owned-by-a-public-authority | https://publicaccess.northumberland.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=PAVA7RQSHD300 | not-permissioned | https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/fa5b04e3dc8a4e439eb393d0ca64b0d8/ | POINT (-1.854775 54.900817) | Extensive, isolated derelict industrial land formerly home to the Marley Tiles factory, located in the Green Belt. Comprises of a large industrial site in the countryside, which has been out of use since closure of the factory in 2008. The former factory and office buildings are in very poor repair and the site is largely derelict. The site has been identified and proposed for redevelopment for a number of years. The remaining buildings and industrial infrastructure require demolition prior to being redeveloped, as part of a significant clearance of the whole site. An initial application for residential development was refused in 2000 (T/20000109). A revised proposal to construct 109 houses following clearance was also refused in 2019 (18/02239/FUL). The subsequent appeal against this decision was dismissed in October 2021. This proposal was focused on the brownfield element of the site, the footprint of the factory buildings and associated hardstanding. Notwithstanding this recent refusal, potential may exist for a residential scheme, but at an appropriate scale for the setting. Being a mixed site of both brownfield and greenfield land, a much reduced yield of 20 dwellings has been suggested as an appropriate total for a discreet parcel of overall brownfield land (3.49ha). For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 2470) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 20.93ha. Potential may still exist for residential development, but a scheme will have to overcome the significant constraints and concerns highlighted and be of any appropriate scale for the rural location. The site remains available. A revised application for 61 homes has subsequently been submitted in 2023 (23/04126/FUL). This proposes demolition of ethe remaining buildings, clearance of the whole site and redevelopment with 61 dwellings. Notwithstanding this, as the site is located in the Green Belt it is not considered suitable for development. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA. | 2024-11-22 | 2017-12-17 | 2024-11-22 | |||||||

Now vacant following relocation of the facility and identified as a key redevelopment opportunity. Proposals for mixed-use redevelopment have been made on a number of occasions over the years, both limited to this site and as part of a wider scheme with adjacent land (2258, 2497). This planning history goes back over a long period. An initial permission for redevelopment of the bus station site, providing retail units and 30 flats, was granted in 1992 (T/92/E/398,T/950511). Despite renewal, this lapsed without a start being made. A number of years later, a revised scheme was submitted for redevelopment of both parcels (2258, 2497). Another application was approved in 2015 for a complex mixed-use scheme, comprising residential development along with retail, commercial and office floorspace (15/02794/FUL). Again, this lapsed. A total of 36 dwellings were proposed, comprising of 5 houses and 31 apartments in three blocks. The proposal included part demolition, reconstruction, alteration and conversion of the existing buildings. It has recently been confirmed (EiP 2020) that a revised scheme is going to be proposed in due course. Currently considered developable later in the plan period. Any future redevelopment is likely to be in combination with adjacent land (2258, 2497). There will be opportunity for a higher density development in this location, probably an apartment scheme. The potential yield for this parcel is recorded against the former bus station record, as a joint capacity (see 2497). | 2020-12-17 | 2016-06-30 | |||||

It is now vacant and no longer in use. Identified as having potential for redevelopment to provide residential units, with a smaller-scale scheme probably being appropriate given the identified constraints. Contamination highly likely as a legacy of the historic use, and remediation will need to be undertaken prior to development. The indicative density recognises the setting and constraints to development. Recently confirmed (EiP 2020) that the site is available for redevelopment and a proposal is being considered in due course. Currently considered developable in the medium-term (6-10 years). | 2020-12-17 | 2016-06-30 | |||||||||

The north east of the site had also been occupied by an ambulance station and associated classrooms for training/teaching, but this had been cleared following earlier relocation to a new site. The site/building has had a number of other uses, including a funeral directors, garages, and offices for the Red Cross. Largely brownfield site with small element of greenfield land. The overall SHLAA site is mixed but a reduced yield recognises a focus on the brownfield land (0.24ha). Brownfield element as been considered suitable for small-scale development of 6 units in the past. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 2554) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 0.43ha. A number of proposals for (re)development have been put forward over the years. This includes for the whole site and in part. Two parallel applications, for demolition of the redundant ambulance station and associated classrooms, refurbishment of the main building, and construction of a new office block, were refused in 2012 (12/00327/CON, 12/00355/FUL). A revised proposal was then permitted in 2013 (12/03311/CON, 12/03310/FUL). This proposal relates to the northern part of the site. Another application for building of a single dwelling on land to the rear was later permitted in 2016 (15/03735/FUL). This is for the southern part of the site. Following recent reappraisal, it is no longer considered that any further potential for residential development now remains. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA. | 2020-12-17 | 2017-12-17 | 2020-11-18 | |||||||

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 (11-15 years). | 2020-12-17 | 2017-12-17 | |||||||||

Originally built in the 18th Century, it has been extended and alerted a number of times since. Most recently, the building provided local authority office accommodation, but was declared surplus some time ago. The building has recently been vacated and made available for a redevelopment project. Two alternative schemes have been approved. The first was for development of 16 flats and 2 cottages, through part demolition, alteration and conversion of the listed building and construction of new-build homes in 2019 (17/04070/FUL). The second, for 16 units in total, again by part demolition, extension and conversion of the Grade II listed office buildings, followed by construction of a new three-storey apartment block to form 14 flats, and then 2 additional cottages, permitted a few months later (19/01910/FUL). Works include demolition of the former council chamber and construction of an extension to the rear, followed by construction of a 3-storey apartment block. The amended scheme has reduced the yield from the initial proposal for 18 units, down to 16 units. Both permissions were extant concurrently and either scheme could be theoretically delivered. Works commenced in 2020, with the developer deciding to progress with the revised 2019 scheme. However, the project was nearing completion but then stalled and has since been mothballed. As such the exact timescales for the completion are a little uncertain. Despite this, the project is nearly finished therefore overall completion is still anticipated within the next five years. | 2024-12-03 | 2016-06-30 | |||||

The site represents a sizeable area of brownfield land, within a small community, in a rural location. However, given the presence of the existing land-use, crucially one that performs an important role in the local community, the site is not available in the short-term. Relocation is not currently being considered by the landowners (Hexham and Northern Marts), but potential for redevelopment may exist in the longer-term. Recently confirmed (EiP 2020) that this relocation/redevelopment will not be before 2029. If and when this happens, it could either be for the sites as a whole or just part of it. This will depend on the future commercial and business requirements of Hexham and Northern Marts. Any residential development would need to be reflective of the wider village and the isolated location. In light of this, an indicative yield of 30 dwellings is considered fitting. Currently considered developable later in the plan period (11 to 15 years). | 2020-12-17 | 2016-06-30 | |||||||||

Mainly brownfield with a very small greenfield element, including some Grade II listed buildings. Identified for redevelopment for a number of years. Yield indicated is capacity of the brownfield element. An initial outline application for 17 dwellings, through part demolition, conversion an new-build, was submitted in 2015 but eventually disposed of without determination in 2018 (15/04203/OUT). A revised proposal was then submitted for consideration in 2018 (18/00168/FUL). This comprised a total of 30 dwellings (gross), giving a net increase of 27 homes. The works proposed demolition of an existing bungalow, part demolition of agricultural buildings, conversion of the remaining listed farm buildings to create 2 units and construction of 26 new-build homes and 4 affordable bungalows. The scheme also included the refurbishment of a flat above former shop/cafe (no net gain would result from this aspect). However, although the application was 'minded to approve' for some time, with only S106 agreement remaining outstanding, again this application has been disposed without determination in 2024. Despite this, an alternative scheme is considered developable in the medium- to longer-term (6-10 years). Deliverability will be reappraised if another application is permitted. This site is also allocated as a mixed-use site in the Morpeth Neighbourhood Plan (2016). | 2024-12-03 | 2017-12-17 | |||||||

The building is now vacant for some time, having been declared surplus. A relatively high density is considered to be appropriate, recognising the location within central Morpeth and likelihood of a conversion to flats. An initial application for 17 dwellings, provided through a combination of conversation and new-build development, was refused in 2018, with the subsequent appeal dismissed the following year (17/00884/FUL). After this, two alternative schemes have recently been permitted. The first is for alteration and conversion of the listed building to 13 flats, alongside construction of 4 new dwellings on land to the rear, approved in 2018 (18/00336/FUL). Later, another revised scheme, just focussed on the listed building conversion to create 12 apartments, was permitted in 2019 (19/00692/FUL). This latter scheme does not include any new-build aspect. Both permissions were concurrently extant, meaning either could be delivered. However, when the developer commenced on site, it was the 12 dwelling scheme that was progressed. The first units were completed in 2020/21 and only a single unit remains outstanding. This is expected to be delivered in 2024/25. NB - the development of bungalows to the rear of the site (from the original 2017 application) has since been subject to a separate proposal and application (18/04456/FUL). This project is now identified as a discreet small site (11021). | 2024-12-03 | 2017-12-17 | |||||

Whilst the site is currently occupied and in use, it may become available in the future, depending on the needs of the existing business. There may be requirement for relocation before redevelopment could be progressed. A small-scale scheme of around 10 dwellings, on a limited part of the site, close to the exiting village, is considered to be fitting given the site and locality. However, the site is outwith the identified settlement boundary and therefore is not considered a priority for development in the short-term. Due to this, because there is an existing business operating from the site, and due to the fact that there has been no recent indication of relocation and/or change in circumstances, any development potential is forecast for the longer-term (11-15 years). | 2020-12-17 | 2016-06-30 | |||||||||

Potential exists for the redevelopment of the land through a small infill scheme. This could potentially be at a slightly higher density, given the location and to reflect the surrounding established residential development. The current status of the site is uncertain, and there has been no update in recent years as to the availability for redevelopment. As such, there still may be potential in the long-term but residential development is currently forecast for beyond the plan period. | 2020-12-17 | 2016-06-30 | |||||||||

Recently the ground floor retail premises has been home to the local post office, following relocation of the service from the adjacent site. In the past, the opportunity for intensive redevelopment, likely to be through a small flat/apartment scheme, has been identified. It is possible that this could be in tandem with the adjacent site (3076), in order to deliver a larger scale project. However, two recent applications have been permitted for small-scale redevelopment projects. The first was an application for change of use from an apartment to a beautician studio, permitted in 2020 (20/00848/COU). In 2024, another application to reverse this change, and convert the beauty studio to 2 residential flats, was permitted (23/02176/FUL). As a result of these two recent applications, the site has been reappraised, and is now considered suitable for a development of a lower yield. Now classified as a 'small site' in the SHLAA and the site falls below the threshold required for inclusion on the Brownfield Land Register. | 2024-12-03 | 2016-06-30 | 2020-11-19 | ||||||

The southern part of the estate is in control of Homes England and comprises of two parcels that are surplus and available for redevelopment (3052, 3053). To the north, the site continues to be occupied by a range of business and a number of commercial and industrial units are in situ. Any partial redevelopment of the site would need to carefully consider the needs of operational employment land to the north and the relationship to adjacent housing. An initial outline application for demolition and redevelopment for 65 homes was submitted for consideration in 2017, but was later withdrawn in 2018 prior to determination (17/01887/OUT). Whilst this proposal was not progressed, it encompassed the two vacant adjacent parcels of land (3052, 3053). Despite this, the landowner indicated that they were still intent on bringing the site forward for redevelopment. Subsequently, a revised application for 75 homes was approved in 2024 (21/02551/FUL).

The whole site is a derelict state and the remaining buildings are in an extremely dilapidated and dangerous state. There is also a commercial unit, latterly a hair salon, and a number of vacant former residential dwellings on-site. This would offer a prime location for an attractive infill residential development within walking distance of Morpeth town centre. Demolition of all the remaining derelict buildings would be required prior to redevelopment An increased density is likely to be fitting for the central location, very possibly through a flat/apartment scheme. The site is an eyesore at present, and is considered to be a priority for redevelopment. There has been interest in bringing a scheme forward for a number of years. After looking are various options, an application for demolition of all existing buildings and construction of a residential care home and care apartments was submitted in 2023 (23/04342/FUL). This application went to Planning Committee in October 2024 and is now 'minded to approve' subject to the approval of the S106. The project includes redevelopment of a wider site, including surrounding land (3059, 9835, 9836, 9837).

Remediation will be necessary due to past use, to eradicate any legacy of contamination from industrial processes. The land has been utilised for car parking and for storage recently, the latter enabled by an approval for change of use, issued in 2016 (16/00598/FUL). Recently, an application for development of 2 detached custom/self-build dwellings has been submitted for consideration (24/02715/OUT).

The site is made up of a range of buildings and a large area of associated land. The facility is now vacant, surplus to requirements, and available for redevelopment. A mixed-use scheme is preferred. This follows the completion of the new St. George's Hospital facility on adjacent land. Demolition of the remaining 12 buildings was initially undertaken (15/01620/DEMGDO), before a hybrid permission was secured for 875 homes, alongside a wide range of supporting uses, in 2018 (16/00994/FULES). As well as residential development, the scheme includes a local centre to potentially provide a range of retail, food and drink, community, leisure and businesses uses, alongside associated open space and strategic infrastructure. The hybrid consent includes full permission for construction of a link road and junction to connect to the Morpeth 'Northern Bypass', and then outline permission for the bulk of the future development, including the residential aspect. This part of the scheme comprises of 875 new homes, providing a whole range of properties, for a mix of sizes, styles and tenures. Site is a mix of brownfield and greenfield land with the former involving redevelopment of existing buildings. Brownfield element (c.20ha) represents around one-third of the site area - a yield of around 282 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 3074) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 64.51ha. The first detailed application for phase-1 of the residential development for this part of the site was permitted in November 2024 (24/03570/REM). This follows reserved matters and detailed permissions for site-wide infrastructure and access (permitted August 2022). First completions are forecast for 2025, with a long-term build-out programme to follow. As such, the site is deliverable but completions are anticipated to continue into the longer-term (11 to 15 years).

The site has not been utilised as a garage for a number of years, but the associated shop has more latterly been utilised to provide two retail units, including a post office, with 2 flats at first floor level. However, the retail use has now ceased and the flat-roofed building has been in a very poor state of repair. The post office has moved to another shop immediately adjacent (3049). Some years ago, permission was granted for redevelopment of the site to provide 6 units, but this was never implemented and lapsed (CM/20090251). This proposal would have seen the demolition of the existing building, clearance and a new-build block of 6 apartments constructed. Since that time, there has been little indication of availability. The former garage forecourt is currently occupied by a car wash business and is therefore not available in the immediate term.

This site was declared surplus following relocation to a new location in central Newcastle. The site has had a wide variety of uses over the years. First developed in 1902 to provide cottage homes for children, the original buildings are now Grade II listed. In 1962 it became a teacher training college and extensive development followed. Many of the buildings constructed in the 1960s are of low-quality and many have been in a poor state of repair in latter years. The Police Authority took occupation of the site in 1982 but it is not longer required for operational purposes and was made available for redevelopment.

The site has been cleared in recent times following cessation of the industrial uses, with all the previous buildings and associated industrial infrastructure having gradually been cleared as the site declined. This culminated with clearance of the brickworks in 2005 following final closure. Now fully vacant, it comprises of the footprint of former buildings and hardstanding, much of which is overgrown. Demolition waste still occupies the site following the clearance and significant remediation is still required prior to redevelopment. Somewhat peripheral location, being located to the opposite side of the ECML to the rest of Stobswood and Widdrington Station. However, it does offer a chance for a comprehensive redevelopment of derelict industrial land. A residential scheme has been proposed for a number of years and there is a complex planning history to the site. The original proposal for 36 units was refused in 2006 (CM/05/D/773). In 2007, a revised outline permission for 26 homes was permitted (CM/20061042). However, this was not progressed and the permission lapsed due to non-implementation. Following this, a hybrid consent was submitted in 2008 for 149 homes, and this application was eventually approved in 2015 after being under consideration for a number of years (CM/20090001). It included full planning permission for a small-scale scheme of 19 dwellings, a phase-1 to development, with the bulk of the dwellings being in outline. Shortly after this approval, some initial site works were commenced and this implemented this permission, ensuring that it will not lapse. A lengthy hiatus followed before an application to vary the approved hybrid was permitted in 2020 (17/04653/VARYCO). This reduced the overall yield of the development to 104 homes. However, more recently, a Section 73 application set out that the applicant proposes to expand the phase-1 area to encompass 50 dwellings rather than the 19 previously indicated. So it is yet to be confirmed how many dwellings will be constructed and what elements of the permission will be delivered due to the complex nature of the planning history.. The permitted scheme includes a combined heat and power plant, enterprise space, allotments and associated open space. It is noted that a number of obstacles and constraints are evident, factors that have led to viability/deliverable to be questioned in the past. However, the hybrid permission remains extant, with it recently confirmed (2022) that the landowner is continuing to make progress towards delivering a residential scheme. Recent progress has been made in order to satisfy planning conditions. Delivery of homes is anticipated to begin within the next five years, with overall completion forecast in 2029/30 (year-6). | 2023-12-07 | 2016-06-30 | |||||

Following a review, in 2012 the site was declared surplus to requirements and made available for redevelopment. This was part of wider proposal to relocate to smaller community homes in local areas, rather than operating a centralised facility at this location. The care units and administrative buildings were gradually vacated following this decision. Redevelopment will involve demolition of the empty buildings, some of which are in a poor state of repair.

Any proposal for redevelopment is likely to involve demolition of the large dwelling on the northern part of the site. The indicative yield represents slightly higher density fitting for location, potentially through a flatted scheme. A previous permission for development of 9 units was refused in 2008, before being allowed on appeal (B/07/00598/FUL). This was a proposal for intensification of the site, involving clearance and replacement with 6 unit apartment block and 3 cottages. Despite being subject o a successful appeal, the permission lapsed due to non-implementation. Since this time there has been no further proposals for development and there has been no recent contact with the landowner. However, a number of applications for development of the southern part of the land parcel have been submitted in the last few years. In 2023, two applications for development of a single dwelling were refused (23/00020/FUL, 23/02794/FUL). A revised application was then submitted, again for 1 dwelling, which was permitted in 2024 (24/00760/FUL). As a result, the southern part of the site is now classified as a small site in the SHLAA and is no longer available. As there is an existing dwelling on the northern part of the site, and because there has been no indication in many years that there is an intention to redevelop the existing dwelling, there is no evidence to suggest this has potential to provide new housing. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA. | 2024-12-06 | 2016-06-30 | 2024-12-06 | ||||||

However, following closure the building was demolished and the site was cleared. There was no residential accommodation on site. Land since identified for redevelopment and it was considered to offer an opportunity for infill within Ashington. A higher indicative yield would be appropriate given the character of adjacent residential development and the urban environment. Potentially, this could be through a flatted scheme. Previously Council-owned, the site has now been sold and the new landowner has earmarked the site for redevelopment. In 2020, an outline application was submitted for a 58-bed two-storey care home and a single-storey 12-bed specialist unit (20/04423/OUT). However, the site was then been included in the land developed to provide supporting infrastructure for the reopened Ashington Station on the Northumberland Line. These works were permitted in 2021 (21/00387/CCD). Consequently, the application for a care home was refused in 2022 (20/04423/OUT). An appeal against this decision was lodged but was later withdrawn. Subsequently, an application has been made under section 17 of the Land Compensation Act 1961 for a Certificate of Appropriate Alternative Development (24/01548/CAAD). This application is to assist and inform negotiations with Northumberland County Council regarding the level of compensation for the compulsory purchase of the application site. The conclusion was that the notional development for a 58-bed care home proposed by the applicant would not be acceptable due to highway safety issues and lack of an identified need and therefore conflict with policies in the Northumberland Local Plan. However, there are acceptable local scale commercial, retail and leisure uses that would be appropriate on site and a housing development up to 17 dwellings. For the reasons given above, the Council does not regard either the applicant’s notional development or alternative development schemes proposing care homes as being acceptable forms of appropriate alternative development. In conclusion, residential development is not achievable.
