Land At Station Road, Bill Quay

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a site with the benefit of planning permission for residential development. The elevated site is well positioned for great views of the River Tyne and the houses have been designed to take advantage of the available views. It is rare for a residential development opportunity to offer such fantastic views in close proximity to the River Tyne.
Location
The site is located at the bottom of Station Road and at the junction with Reay Street. Bill Quay is a popular suburb on the outskirts of Gateshead and in our experience a very popular residential area. The views are spectacular and the new homes will benefit from easy access to Gateshead and South Tyneside. Additionally there are Metro Stations nearby in Pelaw and Hebburn. There are also some educational facilities available nearby. We fully expect there to be great demand for the well designed and proportioned new homes planned for the site.
Development Proposals
The proposal is to construct four new detached homes on the site, three of which will be over three storeys and one over two. The homes have been designed to allow the occupants to take advantage of the river views available from this elevated site. We are advised that each of the three storey homes will have a GIA of 1937 sq feet and the two storey home a GIA of 1486 sq feet. They will therefore offer substantial living accommodation for modern families and each unit also has a spacious external balcony.
Accommodation will be as follows:
Plot 1 to 3
GF: Hall, two bedrooms, bathroom, utility room.
FF: Lounge/Dining Room/Kitchen with access to balcony, cloakroom/wc.
SF: Two bedrooms, each with an en-suite.
Plot 4:
GF: Hall, Master bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms, bathroom and utility room.
FF: Lounge/Dining Room/Kitchen with access to balcony, cloakroom/wc.
Externally each plot has parking space and rear gardens with the drawings showing a patio area.
Planning
Plots 1 to 3. Planning permission was granted on 17 August 2023 (DC/20/01095/FUL) for the construction of 3 no (three storey) dwelling houses. All of the planning documents and drawings are available on Gateshead MBC planning portal. The permission is subject to various conditions, including the usual one requiring commencement within three years. Our client has obtained various reports and surveys including a preliminary ecological appraisal. All of these reports can be provided upon request.
Plot 4. Following prolonged discussions with Gateshead MBC, our client submitted an application on Plot 4, for a two storey dwelling house ref (DC24/0058/FUL) on 9 July 2024. This was following the rejection of a previous application for a fourth three storey dwelling and our clients consider that this application is in line with the requirements of the planning authority. Again all documents are available online.
Site Area
The generally level site measures approximately 0.36 acres. Prospective buyers must satisfy themselves as to the exact site boundaries and measurements.

Services
We have no information regarding services and prospective buyers must make their own enquiries.
Tenure
We are instructed to sell our clients Freehold interest in the site. We will provide as much information about tenure as we are able to and in the case of leasehold properties, we can in most cases provide a copy of the lease. They can be complex and buyers are advised to take legal advice upon the full terms of a lease. Where a lease is not readily available we will apply for a copy and this can take time.
