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 submitted in November 2024 (24/03778/OUT). The proposal includes some specialist housing in the form of extra-care provision. The application is currently pending consideration. Until this is determined, the identified yield remains that as set out in the published SHLAA and the site is currently considered developable in the medium- to longer-term (6-10 years). Once a decision is made, both the overall site yield and the deliverability of the scheme can be reappraised. Facts
