This major mixed-use redevelopment sits on a long-vacant and complex gateway site, extending to 7.9ha on Newcastle’s Quayside. Residential-led, it comprises up 1,500 homes but also includes opportunities for a hotel, office, leisure and retail uses and significant improvement to the public realm.

Being in a highly prominent location, on a large scale, with noise and contamination constraints, as well as the impact on townscape and heritage assets, the team had to prepare an EIA, along with technical input from other consultants.

The application was submitted in August 2018 and DPP continue to work closely with the project team, client and Council to reach a positive decision.
