Operational auction mart that comprises extensive buildings, associated facilities and land. 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 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 long-term (16+ years).
