Prime development opportunity in central Gateshead. This cleared site on Hopper Street benefits from detailed pre-application planning advice for an 8-storey residential scheme comprising 94 units. Ideally located within the Urban Core, close to transport links and local amenities.

A rare opportunity to acquire a strategically located development site on Hopper Street, Gateshead, within the town’s established Urban Core and Primary Shopping Area.

The site has been the subject of detailed pre-application discussions with Gateshead Council regarding the proposed demolition of the existing building and redevelopment to form an eight-storey co-living and student-style residential scheme comprising 94 units, together with communal facilities, cycle storage, and bin stores. Full pre-application documentation is available to interested parties.

The Council has confirmed that, in principle, additional residential accommodation in this town centre location is acceptable and would support regeneration and increased footfall. The site also benefits from excellent public transport links, being within close proximity to Gateshead Interchange, and offers convenient access to Newcastle City Centre and the wider regional road network.

Located within a mixed-use commercial and residential area, the site is surrounded by a wide range of amenities including shops, cafés, leisure facilities, and professional services, making it a highly attractive location for future occupiers.

The plot represents an ideal opportunity for developers, investors, and operators seeking to deliver high-density residential, co-living, or student accommodation in a proven and well-connected urban location.

Prospective purchasers are advised that further design development and technical work will be required as part of any formal planning application, particularly in relation to waste management, transport, design, and environmental considerations.

This is a prime development opportunity in one of Gateshead’s most accessible and regenerating locations.
