Facts about Point |
| Notes | This is former railway land adjacent to the ECML, but the site has been utilised as a builders yard and for open-air storage in more recent times. Occupied by a range of traditional stone buildings, including a former engine shed, with the remainder vacant and unused hardstanding. If redevelopment for residential use was to be progressed, the location within Tweedmouth lends itself to a relatively high density given the urban setting. Demolition and clearance would be required prior to redevelopment. It is likely that the site is contaminated due to previous use and, if so, remediation would be necessary. Initial demolition works were permitted a number of years ago but were never undertaken (N/09/B/0397). The site has deteriorated during the time it was unoccupied and the buildings are now derelict. An application for demolition of the former railway buildings and construction of 60 dwellings permitted July 2020 (19/04107/FUL). The scheme comprised a three-storey block, providing a 52 residential units (C3), along with 8 additional bungalows. This was to provide specialist accommodation in the form of an extra-care facility and standalone houses. However, the landowner decided not to proceed with the permitted scheme and the permission has now lapsed due to non-implementation. Despite this, the most recent update noted that interest remains from developers and that the landowner is currently working with an alternative provider, with a view to submitting a revised application. This could be either general or specialist housing. Development currently forecast for the medium-term (6 to 10 years). | Facts about Notes |
