Notes Land and buildings that from part of the Prudhoe Hospital site at the edge of the town. Around half of the overall site is brownfield, the remainder open space. This is a former psychiatric hospital that has continued to be occupied by NHS facilities until recent years. The complex includes the Grade II listed Prudhoe Hall (c.1870), which was originally a private home and a church hall before being converted for hospital use. Site now declared surplus and proposals for a strategic redevelopment of land and buildings are being progressed. This includes parallel provision of new NHS facilities (T/20090634). An initial outline permission clearance and mixed-use redevelopment was granted in 2009 (T/20081020). This early proposal comprised of a new hospital, specialist care village for the elderly, and residential development. Detailed permission was later approved in 2016 for demolition of the majority of this site, followed by redevelopment with 392 new-build homes, and then 12 further units created through conversion (14/04160/FUL). Only a small element of the facility will be retained, the Grade II listed Prudhoe Hall, the subject of the conversion works. The overall project also includes extensive demolition of non-listed buildings and provision of supporting services, facilities and infrastructure. The site is a mix of brownfield and greenfield land, with the former involving redevelopment of the remaining buildings. Brownfield element (c.20ha) represents around 55% of the site area - a yield of around 220 dwellings can be calculated based on methodological approach. For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 2494) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 40.01ha. Construction to provide 404 dwellings is now underway, across a long-term build-out programme. Final completion of the site is forecast within the next five years. Facts about Notes
