Description

An opportunity to acquire a site with potential for development within Low Fell. It is located to the rear of the old Belle Vue Garage site, on Eastern Avenue close to the junction with Station Road. The site area is approximately 0.46 acres and although there is no current planning permission, there have been two schemes approved in the past.
Low Fell is a highly desirable residential area, to the south of Gateshead, benefitting from good local facilities and excellent transport connections. In our view, a well designed scheme at this location could command high demand from buyers.
All enquiries to be made to the sole agents, Andrew Craig Land and New Homes.
Planning and Consents
All previous planning consents have now expired but we are aware of two schemes that were given consent, both of which include the subject site, as follows:
DC/04/00684/FUL. This was a scheme on the subject site alone, for the construction of 8 townhouses. Permission was granted on 17/10/2005.
DC/06/01779/FUL. This was a scheme for both the subject site and the front site (previously Belle Vue Garage), for the construction of 21 townhouses. Permission was granted in May 2007.
Information on both schemes is available on the planning portal.
