Stockton
North Shore
There will soon be a new face in Stockton. A new face with a fantastic waterfront position, great views and amenities and prime office accommodation. The 56 acre scheme, which will also include a range of residential housing, cafes, bars, restaurants and leisure facilities, follows a modern, fresh design which will provide an innovative and successful urban development. It will also boast an iconic footbridge linking North Shore with Teesdale, encouraging movement between sites and facilitating the expansion of the University of Durham’s Stockton campus. Significant public investment has already prepared the site for development and enabled the provision of an excellent road system and infrastructure. In addition the scheme will create more than 2500 jobs.
The scheme will be delivered in four stages over approximately eight years with phase one expected to begin in 2007. As the scheme progresses it is anticipated that it will also house a new student residential college and conference facility along with a hotel and a shoreline promenade designed to encourage the public to use and enjoy this new asset for the town.

North Shore Footbridge: (Watch Construction Live)

Designs for a landmark footbridge to span the River Tees at Stockton’s up-and-coming North Shore development have been granted planning permission. The eye-catching bridge will carry both pedestrians and cyclists. Joe Docherty, chief executive of Tees Valley Regeneration, said: “The bridge will be an iconic structure forming a focal point within North Shore, yet it will also be functional and simple to maintain.
“The bridge will form a strategic element of the footpath and cycle network in the area which forms part of the Teesdale Way. It is a fundamental part of the site’s infrastructure and we hope it will enable the University of Durham to expand the Queen’s Campus onto North Shore.

Main span is 120m, side span is 60m:

Tees Valley Regeneration's Victoria Harbour is an exciting and innovative 200 acre development that opens up a fresh stretch of waterfront to the north of Hartlepool's marina.

The scheme will include first class housing, leisure and business opportunities as well as a whole raft of facilities from a proposed new school and beautifully planned open spaces to a new footbridge and coastal walk.









Darlington
Central Park

Tees Valley Regeneration has announced a trio of first rate developers to transform Darlington's Central Park masterplan into bricks and mortar and provide a huge boost to the area.

The £200 million project will be developed by a consortium consisting of Commercial Estates Group (undertaking the commercial and leisure facilities) and Yuill Homes and Keepmoat PLC (creating family town houses and apartments).

Central Park is the biggest development in Darlington for a generation and will create thousands of jobs. The appointment of the three most influential names in the business means that work will soon begin on delivering 600 new homes, revolutionary eco homes, first class offices, restaurants, a hotel and health and child care facilities.

This is just Some of the New Exciting Developments going on in the Teesside area, with well over £1.5 Billion being spent on the area, this shows Teesside has the potential to be One of the Best Places in The UK to Live and Work.

For some reason, this thread was filtered by our spam buster, but I've approved it now. Sorry about that.

[bobalania]

Ok, I submitted it 3 times. :P So I guess You'll just have to delete the other ones.

Thanks!

[geordiejon]

Some really good developments foing on down the A19 then, some look a bit futureistic, and would be surprised if all of them go ahead especially in the current economic climate, but fingers crossed they go ahead. At least the councils down there are looking a bit forward- unlike here in Newcastle.
Looking at all the new developments completed and planned I have never understood why Middlebrough is only a town and not a city- simply cos if Sunderland can be a city (with no cathedral etc) then how come Middlesbrough aint?

[bobalania]

I know, I think we should be given City status, I think it would be really good to incoperate the whole of Teesside thus having 'The City of Teesside'.

[b4mmy]

good work bobalania, loads of info in there

[bobalania]

Thanks! And Thanks for all the help getting the thread up.

[Talisker]

Don't forget the new grand central rail service that now links hartlepool direct to london.

Is rialto court by mandale then? I knew they were planning something big in stockton - around 500 flats - but nothing more.

[bobalania]

Can you find a link to info. on that for me?

Yes Rialto Court is Mandale, I think, well the company who is doing it are called 'Mezzino'. Yes, it is quite big, although i don't know the actual size, would love to find out. And I don't know whether 12 floors is official or not.

[bobalania]

Just drove past Rialto Court, and they seem to have completed the back bit now and all the scaffolding is down, looks good, exactly like it does on the 3D image.

[lms]

Excellent thread bobalania !!!!
Its good to have another Teessider on the forums ,i was thought i was the only one !
The good thing about most of the Teesside projects you have listed are they have the funding in place .
The next couple of years should see quite a few additions to the Teesside skyline.

[bobalania]

Thanks! Yes We fly the Flag for Teesside!
Yes, it is quite exciting times for us, hopefully all the plans come to life.
Please let me know if you know anything else i missed or any updates.

Yes i agree it is strange Middlesbrough isnt a city ,it is the smallest borough in area in the North East yet the most densely populated ,being almost totally urban ,unlike Sunderland which includes other towns like Washington .
And Middlesbrough has a cathedral, (Roman Catholic).

[bobalania]

Does it? :O

[bobalania]

ah, i see, Coulby Newham? St Mary's? So why aren't we automatically a city?

[bobalania]

ah i see, because its a Roman Catholic Cathedral i'm guessing?

[Talisker]

bobalania, do you know anything about that round midrise in billingham? I think it's called kingsway house, and looks fairly interesting when I've seen it from the train. It's probably about 12 storeys or so in height.

[bobalania]

Yes, i do, I go past it pretty often. I have been trying to find a picture of it, but no look. Its not very nice, just a concrete residential building. Not sure of the height but it is about that. It Might be getting improved with the Town Centre redevelopments.

Do you know of the height(s) of the big yellow tower blocks in Stockton, i have been trying to find out, i also couldn't find a picture?

[Smoggie_Si]

Cheers for the updates Bobalania, always good to be kept up to date with what's going on in Teesside.

T-T-Teessiders indeed! E-I-O, E-I-O, E-I-O, E-I-O!
