Location

The site acts as a Gateway from the A1 into Gateshead and Newcastle, located close to the iconic Tyne Bridge. Gateshead lies on the Southern bank of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle City Centre and forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation. The site is adjacent to the A184 and provides excellent frontage for a mixed use development less than 1 mile from Gateshead Quayside.

Located to the West of Gateshead and Newcastle City Centre there are excellent local, national and international transport links. The A1 is just 1 mile from the site and Newcastle International Airport is within 9 miles. The site is a short walk from the centre of Gateshead and the Newcastle/Gateshead Quayside. Local bus services, as well as local and national rail links, are all within easy access while the Tyne Valley Trading Estate is also within close proximity.

Description

The site has been undeveloped for some years and the majority remains open land.  A disused petrol filling station is in-situ at the Eastern end of the site with a number of temporary advertising hoardings along the perimeter. Access to the site is gained via the old entrance to the Petrol filling station from the A184. The site has excellent frontage onto the A184 to the South while the North of the site lies parallel to a regional railway line. Part of the site was recently sold to Northern Rail which shall be developed for their own use including a mix of offices and storage facilities.
