North Yorkshire developer Newby has submitted an outline planning application to Newcastle City Council for a £250m regeneration of a derelict site overlooking the River Tyne.
The plans for the former Calders site on Skinnerburn Road – known as Quayside West – include 1,500 homes, a hotel and more than 110,000 sq ft of commercial, community and leisure space.
Plans also include new roads for walking, driving and cycling and significant landscaping and public realm.
The development, which forms part of Newcastle City Council’s Forth Yards Opportunity Site regeneration plan, is expected to take 10 years and to add 575 full-time permanent jobs to the area once complete.
Nick Moody, director at Newby, said: “Our development team has worked hard to devise proposals which will make Quayside West an attractive place to live, work and visit. The site is well located and our design will ensure that it connects to the city centre, the River Tyne and wider area.
“As a result, Quayside West could act as the catalyst for the council’s exciting plans to redevelop the Forth Yards area.”
