A new masterplan for the regeneration of the Allens West site in Eaglescliffe into a sustainable, mixed-use development, received the official go-ahead from Stockton on Tees Council’s Planning Committee on 23 July 2008.
The masterplan drawn up by JG Land & Estates (JGLE), the owner of this brownfield site includes new homes; affordable housing for local people; accommodation for older people and a small local shop, in addition to retaining and expanding the site’s existing employment opportunities.
The planning application also provides other benefits including a park and ride facility for Allens West station; protection and enhancement of wildlife habitats on site; a teen recreational area and funding towards local sports facilities. It was prepared following extensive studies by JGLE’s professional team, including transport and housing needs surveys and a public consultation on the initial design proposals which took place in 2007. |
