| Notes | Land at the former Stobswood Colliery and associated brickworks. The site has been cleared in recent times following cessation of the industrial uses, with all the previous buildings and associated infrastructure gradually having been cleared as the site has declined. This culminated with clearance of the brickworks in 2005 following final closure, Now fully vacant, comprising of the footprint of former buildings and hardstanding, much of which is overgrown. Demolition waste still occupies the site following the clearance and significant remediation is still required prior to redevelopment. Somewhat peripheral location, being located to the far side of the ECML to the rest of Stobswood and Widdrington Station, although offers a chance for a comprehensive redevelopment of derelict industrial land. Significant remediation is required before development can begin. Provision of a residential scheme has been proposed for a number of years and there is a complex planning history to the site. The original proposal for 36 units was refused (05/D/773). A revised outline permission for 26 homes was permitted but not progressed (CM/20061042). Following this, a hybrid consent was secured for 149 homes, the majority of which were in outline (CM/20090001). It included full planning permission for a small-scale scheme of 19 dwellings, a phase-1 to development. Initial site works have implemented this permission and it will not lapse. An application to vary this was approved in 2020, reducing the overall total to 104 homes (17/04653/VARYCO). However, in a recent Section 73 application, the applicant proposes to expand the phase-1 area to encompass 50 dwellings rather than the 19 previously indicated. So it is yet to be confirmed how many dwellings will be constructed and what elements of the permission will be delivered due to the complex nature of the planning history.. The permitted scheme includes a combined heat and power plant, enterprise space, allotments and associated open space. It is noted that a number of obstacles and constraints are evident, factors that have led to viability/deliverable to be questioned in the past. However, the hybrid permission remains extant, with it recently confirmed the landowner is continue to make progress towards delivering a residential scheme. Whilst no recent progress has been made, it is intended to progress with satisfying planning conditions shortly. Delivery forecast to begin within the next 5 years, with overall completion forecast for the 6-10 year period. | Facts |
