Field notes
Value Grade II listed former local authority offices in the town centre. The building is now surplus, vacant and offers opportunity for redevelopment through conversion. A relatively high density is considered to be appropriate, recognising the location within central Morpeth and likelihood of a conversion to flats. An initial application for 17 dwellings, provided through a combination of conversation and new-build development, was refused and dismissed on appeal (17/00884/FUL.). After this, two alternative schemes have recently been permitted. The first is for alteration and conversion of the listed building to 13 flats, alongside construction of 4 new dwellings on land to the rear (18/00336/FUL). Subsequently, a revised scheme, just focussed on the listed building conversion to create 12 apartments, has since been permitted (19/00692/FUL). This does not include any new-build aspect. Both permissions were concurrently extant, meaning either could be delivered. However, the developer has recently commenced on the revised scheme for 12 units. The first units were completed in 2020/21, with the remained to follow in 2021/22. NB - the development of bungalows to the rear of the site (from the original 2017 application) has since been subject to a separate proposal and application (18/04456/FUL). This project is now identified as a discreet small site (11021).
