This site has a long history of industrial use, although it is now vacant after the industrial buildings and apparatus were cleared some time ago. Situated adjacent to The Tweed, the quay facility was last used by Tarmac Ltd in the early 2000s as a point for loading stone aggregate onto ships for export. The lease expired in 2008, but site had been out of use for some time before this. There is known interest in developing the land for residential use. An initial application for construction of 35 dwellings on at the vacant Spittal Quay was submitted, but subsequently was refused in 2020 (19/00474/FUL). The proposal was for a mixed residential development at the waterside location, providing comprising of a five-storey apartment block of 25 flats, a four-storey duplex apartment block providing a further 4 flats, and finally 6 maisonettes. Subsequently, an application for an amended development of 30 homes was permitted in 2023 (21/01355/FUL). The revised scheme comprises of a mix of apartments and town houses in three blocks. Whilst yet to commence, the overall development is expected to be completed in the forthcoming five years.
