This land forms part of a wider site that is part occupied by a paint factory with the remainder consisting of vacant areas, greenfield land and also a small number of dwellings. This particular parcel relates to vacant brownfield land, previously occupied by terraced dwellings, although these had been cleared several years earlier. Location at the edge of Prudhoe is somewhat peripheral. Now earmarked for a phased redevelopment for residential use. An initial outline approval for 50 homes was consented in 2016 (15/03750/OUT). Reserved matters for a scheme of 48 homes followed, being permitted in 2020 (19/03517/REM). It is understood that this is intended as a phase-1 to a larger development. The extant permission is on brownfield land (1.62ha) which represents around one-third of the whole site under common ownership. There may be potential for further delivery as an additional phase of development are being considered for the future (see 6839b). Development commenced in 2021, when a start on site access works was made. No substantive progress has been made, but the planning permission has been implemented and will not lapsed. Scheme is forecast for completion within the next five years. NB - for potential phase-2, please see Site 6839b.
