A few weeks ago I published an article on these pages about a potential new use for the Chimneys Hotel on East Street which has stood empty for some time now. Please see the article here for background information: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2023/01/chimneys-in-east-street-blackhall.html
As a follow up to that article I received confirmation this morning from the planning department that the owner of the property has submitted a planning application seeking to change the use of the building. Surrounding occupants and other consultees will be notified soon prior to a period of statutory public consultation.
The following application has been received in your Ward. Further details including the link to the application are contained in the attached document.
Application No: DM/23/00095/FPA
Proposal: Change of use of existing Hotel to a C2 use for Supported Living Accommodation for 10 people with a learning disability or autism and associated staff office
Address: 116 East Street Blackhall Colliery Hartlepool TS27 4HAIf you have any comments to make about this proposal please contact the planning office using the link shown below.
