The factory closed in November 2018, resulting in the loss of approximately 400 local jobs. Since then, Sunderland-based West Estates Development Ltd. has made two unsuccessful attempts to obtain planning permission. The second proposal, which included 118 homes and an employment or community hub, was dismissed by the Planning Inspectorate in July 2024.
