Point POINT (-2.101591 54.970125) Facts about Point
Notes Vacant Grade II listed building within Hexham town centre. Occupied by a bank for many years but following closure the premises stood empty for some time. Offers potential opportunity for redevelopment of existing listed buildings by a conversion. High density of development would be fitting to reflect conversion scheme in the heart of the town centre and likelihood of flatted scheme. An application for conversion of the building to create 5 flats was permitted in 2013 (12/00255/FUL). This was for alteration of part of the ground floor and the two upper floors to create residential units. However, this permission lapsed due to non-implementation. A revised application was then permitted in 2022 (22/00740/FUL). This scheme involves the removal of the modern rear extensions and conversion of first and second floors from office space to 5 flats. In addition, alterations are also proposed for ground floor level, including replacement of the modern ground floor frontage and division of the space into 2 retail units and a ground floor flat. Completion of the project would give a net gain of 6 residential units on completion. Works are yet to commence, but the scheme is considered deliverable and is forecast to be completed in the next five years. Facts about Notes
