Former psychiatric hospital site to the norther edge of Morpeth, comprising of a range of buildings and extensive areas of green land. The hospital was closed in 1995 and is now surplus to NHS requirements and available for redevelopment. This follows the completion of the new St. George's Hospital facility. Identified for a strategic mixed-use redevelopment. Occupied by the main two-storey former hospital building and wings provided through extension of the facility over the years. There are also a number of additional buildings in situ, including a former Chapel, terraced and single two-storey residential properties, larger administration buildings, and a range of outbuildings. All of these are vacant, are identified for clearance, and require demolition. A hybrid application for 375 dwellings, alongside supporting facilities, was initial approved (14/02750/FUL). This included full permission for demolition of existing hospital buildings and construction of 119 dwellings and outline planning permission for further demolition and the phased redevelopment of site for up to 256 homes along with community, leisure uses and public open space. Two applications for further development (phase-1b and phase-1c) are currently pending. The first is a hybrid application for the construction of 159 dwellings (19/00904/FUL). As week as an outline application for an extra-care/community well-being facility with up to 80 accommodation units (19/00903/OUT). For indicative purposes in the BF Register, the original SHLAA site (ref 3397) is split to reflect brownfield and greenfield elements - total area of 19.8ha. Development is well underway and completion is forecast within the next 5 years.
