A substantial cleared freehold site extending to approximately 1.87 acres (0.75 ha) positioned immediately south of Pelaw Metro Station. The land is level, regular in shape and accessed from Pelaw Way, offering straightforward buildability for a medium-density housing scheme. The emerging Making Spaces for Growing Places (MSGP) local plan identifies the plot as a Council housing site allocation (PolicyMSGP10, site10.130); interested parties must make their own enquiries with the local planning authority as no detailed planning permission is confirmed.
This location benefits from excellent public transport links — Pelaw Metro gives rapid connections to Newcastle (about 10 minutes) and Sunderland (about 19 minutes) — and direct road access to the A184. The site sits within an established urban area with nearby shops, schools and local amenities, which supports residential demand and convenience for future occupants or rental tenants.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood considerations: the area records high crime levels and significant deprivation, and the site is immediately adjacent to industrial land to the west, which may influence layout, noise mitigation and the type of development best suited here. There is no recorded flood risk and the land is largely cleared, but utilities, contamination risk and detailed ground investigations have not been supplied and will require buyer-led surveys.
This parcel will suit developers or investors seeking a large urban plot with allocation potential where transport connectivity is a key selling point. Early engagement with the local planning authority and thorough site due diligence will be essential to assess constraints, servicing costs and deliverability.
