Stifler Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 46 minutes ago, ponsaelius said: This is not talking about the student blocks named after the area of the Town Moor, but the area of the Town Moor itself (the land immediately north of Leazes Park). Also a side point but the uni don't have permission to build the new blocks yet, even though they've cracked on with demolition of the old ones. You don’t need planning permission to knock down old buildings. You have to inform the local authority, but unless it’s a listed building, you don’t need permission. The local authority may come back with some stipulations on when you can do it etc, but I think for where the site is, it will be fairly straight forward.

It's called a notice of demolition application. This was approved earlier in 2024. https://portal.newcastle.gov.uk/planning/index.html?fa=getApplication&id=131631 Edited January 10 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now think a mega-redevelopment of the Gallowgate over Strawberry Place followed by gradual refurbishment of the other three stands is the way to go.

bobbydazzla Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) I know us amateur property developers, civil engineers and town planners have talked the Arena site to death for various reasons But My good lord, a massive state of the art stadium perched on high ground above the banks of the Tyne Imagine that being the main thing millions of billions of people see as they cross a bridge into Newcastle by rail or road It'd be absolutely fucking breath taking.

Lotus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Is there a risk to building a stadium by the river? Does the Tyne flood? Is a risk area with rising sea levels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Broon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) 30 minutes ago, Lotus said: Is there a risk to building a stadium by the river? Does the Tyne flood? Is a risk area with rising sea levels? Flood risk is unlikely to be an issue for the arena site, the site is all flood zone 1 (which is everywhere with less than 1 in 1000 year probability of flooding from rivers and sea). Part of Skinnerburn Road is flood zone 2 (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 year probability), which could require some mitigation to ensure access but that would probably be pretty straightforward. There would be a flood risk assessment with any planning application and that would take into account climate change, but given the levels of the site there would be unlikely to be any showstopping flood risk issue.

Hudson Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Plus didn’t the quayside flood earlier this year, not sure what the arena sight is above sea level though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arena site is raised by a considerable amount. To think about it, it is about the level of the rest of the city centre, but the road beneath it is alongside the river bank. If that floods, then the whole of Newcastle would be in danger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
