Field notes
Value Disused factory site to the west of Widdrington Station, and not within the main settlement. The complex comprises of flat-roofed buildings, largely single storey, but are now derelict and in an increasing state of disrepair. The land had previously been part of Stobswood drift mine, housing the pithead baths, lamp room and associated outbuildings. On closure, an industrial workshop was constructed, which was utilised for furniture manufacturing for many years. The site has been vacant for some time and is no longer considered suitable for modern industrial/commercial use. A range of buildings are currently in situ and would require clearance prior to redevelopment. An initial outline application was refused in 2006 (CM/20060524). A revised proposal, for demolition and development of 13 homes, theoretically remains to be determined (CM/20070970). However there has been no progress with this application for many years. A much more recent proposal to build 9 homes on clearance was then submitted but later withdrawn (17/00204/FUL). Recently confirmed that the landowner still intends to redevelop the site and progress the live planning application. Noting the long planning history, it remains available. Currently considered developable later in the plan period.
