Facts about Point |
| Notes | Brownfield land within Hexham which is now utilised for car parking and storage. It was previously the site of a commercial garage. If the site was to become available, some clearance may be required, and there may be a need for remediation due to previous uses. Interface with surrounding industrial and commercial land would need to be carefully considered in any proposed housing scheme. There is opportunity for a higher density development, potentially a flatted scheme, given the location. However, at present the future availability of the site is uncertain, and as such development is forecast for beyond the plan period (16+ years). | Facts about Notes |
