Advance Northumberland will be submitting an application for prior approval to demolish the buildings at Wansbeck Square in Ashington. This is the first step in redeveloping the site, with further plans still being finalised and coordination with Network Rail and Northern Powergrid ongoing.
As part of the prior approval application process, Advance Northumberland has provided the required Site Notice indicating a proposed demolition start date of 1st July 2024. These notices will be posted around Wansbeck Square in the next couple of days. However, the actual demolition date may change depending on the approval timeline, particularly any requirements from Network Rail and Northern Powergrid.
