Notes This is the second phase of the strategic redevelopment of St. George's Hospital site. The site is made up of a range of buildings and a large area of associated land. The facility became vacant, surplus to requirements, and available for redevelopment after closure of the facility, following the completion of the new St. George's Hospital facility on adjacent land. Demolition of the remaining 12 buildings was initially undertaken (15/01620/DEMGDO), before a hybrid permission was secured for 875 homes, alongside a wide range of supporting uses, in 2018 (16/00994/FULES). As well as residential development, the scheme includes a local centre to potentially provide a range of retail, food and drink, community, leisure and businesses uses, alongside associated open space and strategic infrastructure. The hybrid consent includes full permission for construction of a link road and junction to connect to the Morpeth 'Northern Bypass', and then outline permission for the bulk of the future development, including the residential aspect. This part of the scheme comprises of 875 new homes, providing a whole range of properties, for a mix of sizes, styles and tenures. Site is a mix of brownfield and greenfield land with the former involving redevelopment of existing buildings. Brownfield element (c.20ha) represents around one-third of the site area - a yield of around 282 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 3074) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 64.51ha. The first detailed application for phase-1 of the residential development for this part of the site was permitted in November 2024 (24/03570/REM). This follows reserved matters and detailed permissions for site-wide infrastructure and access (permitted August 2022). First completions are forecast within the coming twelve months, with a long-term build-out programme to follow. As such, the site is deliverable but completions are anticipated to continue into the longer-term (11 to 15 years). NB - see separate record for Phase-1 of the wider St. George's scheme (3397).
