Point POINT (-2.102675 54.972685) Facts about Point
Notes Site of Hadrian House, a Grade II listed building located within the centre of Hexham. The main building is a three-storey Georgian townhouse that was altered in 1839, when a large extension was added at the rear. The building was then utilised as a large Wesleyan chapel until 1877, after which it became the main Post Office for the town. In the 1970s the Post Office relocated and the building was utilised as offices, firstly by the Department of the Environment, and later by Northumberland County Council. In recent times it has been a register office but is now vacant and available for redevelopment. This would be through sensitive conversion, reflecting the heritage context and listed status. A higher yield is likely to be appropriate given the central location and the fact that development is likely to be a flatted scheme. A scheme for 8 apartments, through alteration and conversion, was permitted in 2017 (17/01204/FUL). The proposal is to provide 3 apartments on the ground-floor, a further 3 flats on the first-floor, and a single apartment on the second-floor. The basement area would be converted to provide the final flat. Works commenced in 2020. The first flat was completed in 2023/24 and the remaining 7 are forecast for completion within the next five years. Facts about Notes
