Notes	Former commercial garage site that is vacant following closure several years ago. The whole site is a derelict state and the remaining buildings are in an extremely dilapidated and dangerous state. There is also a commercial unit, latterly a hair salon, and a number of vacant former residential dwellings on-site. This would offer a prime location for an attractive infill residential development within walking distance of Morpeth town centre. Demolition of all the remaining derelict buildings would be required prior to redevelopment An increased density is likely to be fitting for the central location, very possibly through a flat/apartment scheme. The site is an eyesore at present, and is considered to be a priority for redevelopment. There has been interest in bringing a scheme forward for a number of years. After looking are various options, an application for demolition of all existing buildings and construction of a residential care home and care apartments was submitted in 2023 (23/04342/FUL). This application went to Planning Committee in October 2024 and is now 'minded to approve' subject to the approval of the S106. The project includes redevelopment of a wider site, including surrounding land (3059, 9835, 9836, 9837). At present, development is forecast for the medium- to longer-term (11-15 years), but this will be reappraised if the current application is permitted.	Facts
