Notes	Extensive former workhouse and hospital buildings and land to the east of Hexham town centre that have been under-utilised in recent years. Now surplus to requirements and offers opportunity for extensive redevelopment. An initial outline permission was granted in 1999 for redevelopment of the whole hospital site, but lapsed without a start being made (T/980896). Site now split into two adjacent parcels (2345a, 2345b). This western parcel is occupied by the former 19th Century workhouse, although the buildings had been utilised by the NHS since the late 1940s, and have been extended at various times over the years. The site has not been in full-time occupation since 2005 and has been completely vacant since 2015. An application for part demolition, extension, alteration and conversion of the former workhouse buildings to create 34 apartments was secured in 2019 (19/01380/FUL). The buildings considered to make a limited contribution to the conservation area will be demolished but the remainder are be retained for conversion. The site is also allocated for residential development in the Northumberland Local Plan (2022) and also in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021). It has been confirmed that the site has been sold on for development. It is understood that sit works have commenced, so the planning permission has been implemented and will not lapse, although no substantive work has been undertaken on the residential aspect of the project. The scheme is forecast for completion within the next five years. NB - also see separate proposal for 43 flats on adjacent site (2345a).	Facts
