Former Hexham Bus Station, Hexham

The site lies immediately to the south of Priestpopple and extends to 0.82 acres (0.33 hectares). It is irregular in shape and brownfield in nature having formerly been used as a bus station. Vehicular and pedestrian access are taken directly off Priestpopple from the north of the site.

There are several structures on site which are suitable for demolition in order to facilitate future development. It should be noted that The Ropery is currently listed, however, the building has no historic value and demolition may be permitted by Northumberland County Council, subject to the requisite statutory permissions.

The site is located on Priestpopple within the centre of Hexham. Hexham is an extremely popular and attractive Tyne Valley market town benefitting from its proximity to both Newcastle 23 miles to the east and Carlisle 38 miles to the west. Priestpopple itself is extremely vibrant accommodating a variety of retail, leisure and residential uses. It is located opposite Fore Street which is the traditional retail core of the town. Hexham Abbey is also a short walk to the west of the site.
