Industrial and commercial land in Spittal. Occupied by a range of existing buildings, largely vacant, but some of which are part occupied by temporary tenants. The premises include two Grade II listed former smokehouses, along with some more modern commercial blocks, and also an existing dwelling. Opportunity exists for redevelopment, likely to involve a combination of conversion of some buildings, demolition of others, and new-build construction. Planning permission was secured in 2017 for development of 13 units after selected clearance (15/03346/FUL). Works proposed involved demolition of Herrings Yard and the low-quality dilapidated 1960s industrial buildings to the north of the site. The latter are in disrepair and considered an eyesore. The listed smokehouses to the south of the site will see work to form a wing of one of the residential properties. The final element is for works to the existing residential property and corner office, which will be retained and renovated. However, site works did not commence before two revised applications were submitted in March 2021 for smaller elements of overall site. Firstly, for conversion of the unlisted 'Bay View' to 1 dwelling (21/01048/FUL). This building was previously identified for demolition in the larger 2015 scheme. Secondly, conversion of the existing 'unit-2' to create 2 dwellings (21/01150/FUL). This property was earmarked for similar works in original scheme. Both of these applications have been permitted and are classified as 'small sites' in the SHLAA. Subsequently, the original permission for 13 dwellings has lapsed due to non-implementation. It is likely that smaller redevelopment projects will be progressed. No longer considered developable/developable and future housing delivery is discounted in the SHLAA.
