Excellent mixed use development opportunity
The site is brownfield in nature having been part of a former housing clearance area. It extends to 2.51 acres (1.01 hectares) and slopes from north to south which in turn gives way to excellent panoramic views overlooking the River Tyne to the south. It is bound by existing housing to the north and west, new housing to the east and The Rise to the south. The surrounding area is predominantly residential in nature with areas of open space located at Hodgkin Park and Benwell Nature Park to the east. Various educational establishments are also located nearby including Excelsior Academy to the west and St Cuthbert’s RC Lower School to the north.
