| Notes | Grade II listed building within Hexham town centre. Originally built in the 18th Century, it has been extended and alerted a number of times since. Most recently, the building provided local authority office accommodation, but was declared surplus some time ago. The building has recently been vacated and made available for a redevelopment project. Two alternative schemes have been approved. The first was for development of 16 flats and 2 cottages, through part demolition, alteration and conversion of the listed building and construction of new-build homes in 2019 (17/04070/FUL). The second, for 16 units in total, again by part demolition, extension and conversion of the Grade II listed office buildings, followed by construction of a new three-storey apartment block to form 14 flats, and then 2 additional cottages, permitted a few months later (19/01910/FUL). Works include demolition of the former council chamber and construction of an extension to the rear, followed by construction of a 3-storey apartment block. The amended scheme has reduced the yield from the initial proposal for 18 units, down to 16 units. Both permissions were extant concurrently and either scheme could be theoretically delivered. Works commenced in 2020, with the developer deciding to progress with the revised 2019 scheme. However, the project was nearing completion but then stalled and has since been mothballed. As such the exact timescales for the completion are a little uncertain. Despite this, the project is nearly finished therefore overall completion is still anticipated within the next five years. | Facts |
