Notes Site of the former Hexham Middle School. This comprises a range of now vacant buildings and extensive grounds, including outbuildings, playing fields and hardstanding. The original school building is Grade II listed and there may be potential for residential use, providing apartments through a sensitive conversion and alteration. It is likely that this would be supplemented by additional new-build development. There would be a preference that much of the existing open space and playing fields will be retained and that any development of greenfield land would be minimised. The identified yield recognises the conversion of the main listed building. The site is now available as part of the consolidation of education facilities in Hexham, and is being actively promoted for development. An outline application for demolition of existing buildings and construction of up to 200 dwellings was approved in April 2025 (24/03778/OUT). The proposal includes some specialist housing in the form of extra-care provision. As of December 2025, the site is now considered deliverable in the next five years. Facts about Notes
