Northumberland Local Plan Core Strategy Northumberland Local Plan Core Strategy Strategic Land Review – Central Northumberland Delivery Area October 2015 Strategic Land Review Central Northumberland Delivery Area 1 Introduction 1.1 The Central Northumberland Delivery Area extends north and west from the boundary with Tyne and Wear. Much of the area is covered by Green Belt to protect the countryside from encroachment from the Tyne and Wear conurbation. The south west of the area includes part of the North Pennines AONB. The delivery area includes the Main Towns of Hexham, Morpeth, Ponteland and Prudhoe and the Service Centre of Corbridge. The small areas which cover these settlements, and the Rest of the Central Northumberland Delivery Area is shown below. Figure 1: Central Northumberland Delivery Area 1 2 Hexham Introduction 2.1 Hexham, located in Tyne Valley, is one of three Main Towns located in the Central Northumberland Delivery Area. The Hexham small area comprises the parishes of Acomb, Hexham and Sandhoe, and includes the settlements of Anick, Oakwood and Low Gate. Located north of the A69 is the village of Acomb, which is closely tied with Hexham. Figure 2: Hexham small area Role and function 2.2 Hexham serves a wide rural hinterland, with its influence extending into the West Northumberland Delivery Area. With its auction mart, Hexham is an important centre for the local agricultural industry. Hexham’s employment land is located north of the town centre on both banks of the River Tyne. The town’s largest employer, the Egger wood processing plant located between the river and the A69. Hexham also has an important role as a gateway to Northumberland National Park and Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site. The town accommodates commuters working in the Tyneside conurbation. 2 Demographic, housing and economic profile Demographic Profile 2.3 The 2011 Census recorded that there were 13,616 usual residents in the Hexham small area; an increase of 462 people since 2001. 2.4 Over this period the proportion of the population of core working age (16- 64 years) stayed the same, at 60.5%, while the proportion aged over 65 increased significantly from 20.6% to 33.8%. Figure 3: Hexham demographic profile People aged 75 and Population 0 - 4 May-15 16 - 24 25 - 44 45 - 64 65 - 74 over 2001 13,157 4.6% 14.4% 9.2% 24.6% 26.7% 10.2% 10.3% 2011 13,616 4.6% 12.1% 10.1% 20.3% 30.1% 11.0% 22.8% 2.5 In 2011, the Hexham area had a smaller proportion of its population of working age than the County as a whole, and a significantly larger proportion aged over 65 years. Population Projection 2.6 When applied at the local level, the 2012 based Sub-national Population Projections indicate that the population of Hexham will increase by 5.6% between 2011 and 2031. Over this period, the number of people of core working age is projected to decrease by 11.8%. In contrast, the population aged over 65 years is projected to increase markedly, with a 62.1% increase in those aged over 75. Figure 4: Hexham population projection Projected population change 2011 - 2031 Age Group Population Population Change Population Change 2011 2031 as a % 0-15 2,241 2,245 4 0.2% 16-59 (female)/ 16-64 (male) 7,716 6,804 -912 -11.8% 60/65-74 2,031 2,689 658 32.4% 75+ 1,621 2,628 1,007 62.1% Total 13,609 14,366 757 5.6% 3 Housing Profile 2.7 In 2011, in the Hexham small area, 62.7% of properties were in Council tax Bands A to C, with 27.5% of these in Band A. 2.8 The 2011 Census recorded 6,216 household spaces in Hexham, an increase of 459 since 2001. Of these household spaces, 299, or 4.8% had no residents. In 2011, 67.2% of households were living in owner occupied properties, 17.5% in social rented housing and 15.3% in the private rented sector. 2.9 In 2011, 26.2% of households occupied properties with four or more bedrooms, 39.7% of homes had fewer than three bedrooms, and 34.1% had three bedrooms. 2.10 In comparison to Northumberland as a whole, Hexham contains significantly more high value properties, and far fewer low value dwellings. The area is characterised by having a higher proportion of owner occupiers, and fewer households living in social rented properties. The housing stock is relatively large with a more than a quarter of homes having four or more bedrooms. Economic Profile 2.11 In the small area 68.9% of those aged 16-74 are identified as economically active, with 31.1% inactive. At the county level the equivalents are 67.9% and 32.1%. Constraints analysis 2.12 Being located in the valley of the River Tyne, Hexham has grown in a largely linear form from east to west. North of the town centre are the Newcastle to Carlisle railway line, the River Tyne and the A69 trunk road, each of which represent barriers to development. Much of this area is at risk of flooding. From the town centre, the ground rises steeply to the south, up the Yarridge Ridge where the racecourse is located. To the east and the west there is significant woodland. 4 Figure 5: Hexham Highways 2.13 While Hexham is well connected to the strategic road network being located to the south of the A69 which bypasses it to the north and connects Newcastle upon Tyne with Carlisle, the historic nature of the town, together with its topography means that local highways are a significant constraint to development. 2.14 The roads and junctions in and around the town centre, from Eilansgate in the north and Hencotes to the south, are narrow and offer little scope for widening or improvements. Eastgate (B6306), the main route south out of Hexham is particularly constrained by its junction with Battle Hill (B6305). To the west of Hexham Causey Hill Road and Leazes Lane are steep and narrow and have little capacity to support additional development. 2.15 Hexham has two access points to the A69. Rotary Way (A6079) provides the main access from the town centre, via the Bridge End Roundabout. Traffic from the nearby industrial estates shares this route with other users. The mini roundabout where the A6079 meets Alemouth Road is particularly constrained. The second access point is at the west end of the town via the West Road (B6531), and is likely to require improvements if it was expected to accommodate significant additional traffic. A right turn lane provides access to Hexham for traffic traveling from west to east, meaning traffic exiting to the east 5 is required to cross the westbound carriageway. Flood Risk 2.16 Much of the area north of the railway line, together with the Burn Lane industrial estate, and the area adjacent to Cockshaw Burn, is identified as being at risk of flooding, being located in Flood Zones 3, with a more extensive area in Flood Zone 2. Many of the areas of the town at risk of fluvial flooding are also susceptible to surface water flooding. The areas at risk of surface water flooding do however extend into the town centre and residential areas south of the town. Areas to the north and south of Acomb are also identified as being in Flood Zones 3 and Zone 2, associated with Red Burn and Birkey Burn. Figure 6: Hexham Flood Risk 2.17 The Strategic Food Risk Assessment identifies that the area lying within the functional flood plain, in Flood Zone 3b is largely confined to the River Tyne, with in the town, only Tyne Green affected. Flood defences are however in place along the north bank of the Tyne protecting the Egger plant and the adjacent area, and along Cockshaw Burn. Areas to the north and SW of Acomb are also identified as being in Flood Zone 3b. 6 Figure 7: Hexham Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Water and Sewerage Capacity 2.18 The detailed WCS identifies that there are no capacity constraints associated with water resources from Kielder WRZ, or Hexham WwTW. 2.19 The WCS also identifies that the sewer network in the west, east, and south west of Hexham has a historic record of sewer flooding, and indicates there may be capacity issues within the public sewerage system. Further investigation and possible infrastructure upgrades may be required in these locations. Natural Environment Designations 2.20 While not a statutory designation, Hexham contains a number of areas occupied by ancient or semi-ancient woodland. These are largely confined to the valleys of the Cockshaw Burn and Wydon Burn to the southwest. There is also ancient woodland associated with the Birkey Burn and Red Burn valleys around Acomb. 2.21 There are local wildlife and geological sites associated with the River Tyne and Red Burn, and one is located close to the Egger plant. The area around the 7 confluence of the Rivers North and South Tyne is a SSSI. Figure 8: Hexham natural environment designations Built Heritage Designations 2.22 Being a historic market town, the centre of Hexham contains a significant number of buildings and features, which are protected by statutory designations. Hexham Abbey is a Scheduled Monument, while the adjacent Sele is a Register Park and Garden. In and around the town centre there are numerous Grade 1, 2* or 2 listed buildings. Hexham conservation area covers the entire town centre and extends into the residential areas to the south and west.

  • Northeast England – a History of Flash Flooding
    Northeast England – A history of flash flooding Introduction The main outcome of this review is a description of the extent of flooding during the major flash floods that have occurred over the period from the mid seventeenth century mainly from intense rainfall (many major storms with high totals but prolonged rainfall or thaw of melting snow have been omitted). This is presented as a flood chronicle with a summary description of each event. Sources of Information Descriptive information is contained in newspaper reports, diaries and further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts and ecclesiastical records. The initial source for this study has been from Land of Singing Waters –Rivers and Great floods of Northumbria by the author of this chronology. This is supplemented by material from a card index set up during the research for Land of Singing Waters but which was not used in the book. The information in this book has in turn been taken from a variety of sources including newspaper accounts. A further search through newspaper records has been carried out using the British Newspaper Archive. This is a searchable archive with respect to key words where all occurrences of these words can be viewed. The search can be restricted by newspaper, by county, by region or for the whole of the UK. The search can also be restricted by decade, year and month. The full newspaper archive for northeast England has been searched year by year for occurrences of the words ‘flood’ and ‘thunder’. It was considered that occurrences of these words would identify any floods which might result from heavy rainfall.

  • William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development Of
    William Newton (1730-1798) and the Development of the Architectural Profession in North-East England Richard Pears A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology, Newcastle University April 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the emergence of the professional architect in the provinces of eighteenth-century Britain, drawing upon new research into the career of William Newton (1730-1798) of Newcastle upon Tyne. Section I assesses the growth of professionalism, identifying the criteria that distinguished professions from other occupations and their presence in architectural practitioners. It contrasts historians’ emphasis upon innovative designs by artist-architects, such as Sir John Vanbrugh and Robert Adam, with their absence from the realisation of their designs. Clients had to employ capable building craftsmen to supervise construction and this was an opportunity for an alternative practitioner to emerge, the builder-architect exemplified by Newton, offering clients proven practical experience, frequent supervision, peer group recommendation and financial responsibility. Patronage networks were a critical factor in securing commissions for provincial builder-architects, demonstrated here by a reconstruction of Newton’s connections to the north-east élite. Section II reveals that the coal-based north-east economy sustained architectural expenditure, despite national fluctuations. A major proposal of this thesis is that, contrary to Borsay’s theory of an ‘English urban renaissance’, north-east towns showed continuity and slow development. Instead, expenditure was focused upon élite social spaces and industrial infrastructure, and by the extensive repurposing of the hinterlands around towns. This latter development constituted a ‘rural renaissance’ as commercial wealth created country estates for controlled access to social pursuits by élite families.

    EDITORIAL The first meeting of the Society after the summer break will be held on 7 September at the British Legion Club, West Jesmond, and it is hoped there will be a good turn-out of members to get the autumn session off to a good start. This will be closely followed by the weekend Conference at Trevelyan College, Durham, on 22-24 September, at which some interesting talks are promised. These will be interspersed with "Question and Answer" sessions and other activities, and there will also be opportunities to meet other members of the Society, particularly those from further afield, in pleasant and enjoyable surroundings. An order form for Volume 4 of the "Index to 1851 Census of Northumberland", covering Bedlington parish, is enclosed with this Journal. Work on these indexes is continuing, but there is a long way to go and any help would be appreciated. Unfortunately the rate at which they can be published is dependent on the rate at which they can be sold, so please place your orders as soon as possible. A nation-wide project to index the 1881 Census is also under way, and we are pleased to hear that several members of the London Group are taking part. It came as a great shock to hear that Roger Tankerville, one of our most active members, had died in a motor-cycle accident. As well as acting as MI Co-ordinator for five years, Roger played a leading role in the organisation of our Annual Conferences and was a valued member of the committee.
