Jarrow Riverside
The Jarrow Riverside site has a long industrial past and the potential to provide tomorrow's business space.
The site lies to the west of the Viking Business Park with adjoining business premises including TEDCO Jarrow Business Centre, the Eco Centre, and Clarendon House. The site is accessed via Blackett Street (B1297) providing easy access to the A19 and Tyne Tunnel.

A 5.3 hectare (13 acres) site with a net developable employment land area of 3.56 hectare (8.8 acres).
- Planning status
Uses B1, B2 and B8 are proposed in the Site Specific Allocations publication draft.
- Land ownership
South Tyneside Council - the disused Jarrow Staiths is jointly owned by the Council and the Crown Estate
- Timescale

Options are currently being investigated to bring the site forward for business and industrial development and the developing low carbon sector. Our Masterplan identifies how 10,000 sqm of industrial and office space could be accommodated at the site. Detailed planning permission was approved in 2009 for a scheme of remediation and infrastructure at the site. The scheme includes access and service roads, utilities, remediation and a development platform. It was costed at £4.8 million (in 2009) to deliver a CEEQUAL Excellent scheme.
