Plans for 77 new homes approved by councillors
PLANS for 77 new homes in a prominent Hexham location were approved by councillors.
The proposal to transform the historic Hexham Workhouse site, on Corbridge Road, into 34 homes and a separate application for 43 flats for over 60s were both approved at the Tynedale Local Area Council meeting on Tuesday.
Site owners HMC Group will develop the former workhouse by building 26 two-bedroom flats, six three-bedroom flats and two two-bedroom houses.
HMC Group will also be working with retirement housebuilder McCarthy and Stone on the project, which will redevelop the adjacent carpark into retirement living accommodation.
