Notes	Land at the former Stobswood Colliery and the associated brickworks. The site has been cleared in recent times following cessation of the industrial uses, with all the previous buildings and associated industrial infrastructure having gradually been cleared as the site declined. This culminated with clearance of the brickworks in 2005 following final closure. Now fully vacant, it comprises 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 opposite side of the ECML to the rest of Stobswood and Widdrington Station. However, it does offer a chance for a comprehensive redevelopment of derelict industrial land. 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 in 2006 (CM/05/D/773). In 2007, a revised outline permission for 26 homes was permitted (CM/20061042). However, this was not progressed and the permission lapsed due to non-implementation. Following this, a hybrid consent was submitted in 2008 for 149 homes, and this application was eventually approved in 2015 after being under consideration for a number of years (CM/20090001). It included full planning permission for a small-scale scheme of 19 dwellings, a phase-1 to development, with the bulk of the dwellings being in outline. Shortly after this approval, some initial site works were commenced and this implemented this permission, ensuring that it will not lapse. A lengthy hiatus followed before an application to vary the approved hybrid was permitted in 2020 (17/04653/VARYCO). This reduced the overall yield of the development to 104 homes. However, more recently, a Section 73 application set out that 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 (2022) that the landowner is continuing to make progress towards delivering a residential scheme. Recent progress has been made in order to satisfy planning conditions. Delivery of homes is anticipated to begin within the next five years, with overall completion forecast in 2029/30 (year-6).
