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 and offers opportunity for extensive redevelopment. An initial outline permission was granted a number of years ago for redevelopment of the whole hospital site, but lapsed without a start being made (T/980896). Site now split into two adjacent parcel (2345a, 2345b). This western parcel is occupied by the former 19th Century workhouse, although the buildings had been utilised by the NHS since the late 1940s, and have been extended at various times over the years. The site has not been in full-time occupation since 2005 and has been completely vacant since 2015. An application for part demolition, extension, alteration and conversion of the former workhouse buildings to create 34 apartments is now in place (19/01380/FUL). The buildings considered to make a limited contribution to the conservation area will be demolished, those, but the remainder are be retained for conversion. Development yet to commence but forecast for completion within the next 5 years. Recently confirmed that the site has been sold on for development. Identified as a preferred allocation in the Reg.19 Local Plan (submitted May 2019) and also in the draft Hexham Neighbourhood Plan. Also see separate proposal for 43 flats on adjacent site (2345a).
