Commercial development opportunity extending to c. 1.34 hectares (3.3 acres) and available freehold with vacant possession.
The site is situated at Newburn Riverside, which is located approximately 3 miles to the west of Newcastle upon Tyne City Centre. The site comprises part of the former Stella North coal fired power station which was decommissioned in 1991 with demolition undertaken between 1992 and 1996, accompanied by a programme of site remediation works.
The site comprises a vacant area of land that forms part of the wider Newburn Riverside site. The site largely comprises scrubland which has grown at the site following the demolition of the previous Power Station. The site is bounded to the north by an industrial unit occupied by Stannah Stairlifts, to the east by Goldcrest Way, to the south by an office development occupied by the NHS, with further grassland / vegetation comprising the western boundary.
The site is designated as Site Number 9 in the Newcastle upon Tyne Development and Allocations Plan for employment purposes under Policy DM1 (Employment Sites), permitting development within Use Classes B1 (Business), B2 (General Industrial), and B8 (Storage and Distribution), along with further land to the east within Newburn Riverside. A previous planning application was submitted at the site in 2016 for the construction of a new car park (Ref: 2016/1947/01/DET). This application was granted conditional planning approval but was never implemented and is now expired.
Offers to be submitted by 13:00pm on Friday, 26th June 2026.
