Point POINT (-1.705669 55.412408) Facts about Point
Notes Vacant Grade II listed building within Alnwick town centre that dates from 1862 and has been utilised for a number of purposes over the years. After the original use ceased, the building continued as cinema, and then bingo hall, until closure in 1986. It has now been vacant unoccupied for a number of years. Situated behind the main row of buildings in Market Street, access will be a key constraint to overcome. Yield reflects urban infill opportunity at relatively high density, most likely provided through conversion to apartments. A scheme will have to be reflective of and sensitive to the listed building and surrounding heritage assets. Previous planning permission lapsed for change of use from a cinema to public house (13/02501/FUL). A much earlier permission for a mixed-use scheme, including residential development, similarly lapsed (A/90/A/210). Any future proposals for residential development proposals are likely to incorporate two adjacent parcels of land within the same ownership (0285, 0286). Recently confirmed by the land owner that the site is available and work is currently underway to develop proposals for the whole area. Currently considered developable later in the plan period.
