| Notes | Former Northumbria Police HQ to the northern edge of Ponteland. This site was declared surplus following relocation to a new location in central Newcastle. The site has had a wide variety of uses over the years. First developed in 1902 to provide cottage homes for children, the original buildings are now Grade II listed. In 1962 it became a teacher training college and extensive development followed. Many of the buildings constructed in the 1960s are of low-quality and many have been in a poor state of repair in latter years. The Police Authority took occupation of the site in 1982 but it is not longer required for operational purposes and was made available for redevelopment. There a large number of existing buildings on site, providing office and administrative accommodation, and training facilities, the vast majority of which require demolition. The exceptions will be the retention of the existing communications centre, which is to remain in police use, and the listed buildings at the centre of the site. The latter are identified on a separate parcel (3427a). Redevelopment has been proposed for many years and an initial proposal for redevelopment was submitted in 2008, but was later withdrawn prior to determination (CM/20080775). A revised scheme for mixed-use redevelopment was then approved in outline in 2015 (14/01442/OUT). Detailed permission for 253 new homes then followed in 2018 (17/02747/REM). The vast majority of the site is brownfield in nature - although there is a very small element of greenfield land the yield represents the capacity of the brownfield land. Development of 55 dwellings completed in 2023/24. NB - see separate record for associated conversion scheme providing an additional 22 units (3427a). | Facts |
