Notes Extensive former workhouse and hospital buildings and land to the east of Hexham town centre that have been under-utilised in recent years. Now surplus to requirements and offers opportunity for extensive redevelopment. An initial outline permission was granted in 1999 for redevelopment of the whole hospital site, but this lapsed without a start being made (T/980896). Site now split into two adjacent parcels (2345a, 2345b). This eastern parcel was occupied by the former 'fever building' for the workhouse but the vast majority had more recently been utilised for car parking following earlier clearance of a number of single-storey buildings. The demolition was enabled by an earlier consent (T/20080945). Permission then granted for construction of 43 apartments for 'retirement living' in 2020 (19/01296/FUL). The site is allocated for residential development in the Northumberland Local Plan (2022) and also in the Hexham Neighbourhood Plan (2021). Overall development completed during 2021/22. NB - see separate proposal for 34 flats on adjacent site (2345b). Facts
