Whitley mag Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Like the idea of turning Leazes terrace into a continental boulevard. Not sure how it would work when the likes of Feyernoord visit with all them chairs lying about though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Turning Leazes Terrace into a 'boutique hotel' still means taking goodness knows how many housing units out of the stock. It just isn't going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm not sure about the split of ownership of Leazes Terrace, at least some of it is private homes. They came up on property searches when I was looking. Guess it depends which parts of the street we're talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The side facing the east stand is student accommodation, and owned by Newcastle University. It used to be offices for the university, but they were converted back a little while back. The other side has private houses on it. The club don’t need to buy them in anyway, and regardless of this, you would struggle to gain a change of use for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and look at what Man City's owners done in Manchester. Say for example there's accom for 200 students in there. Then our owners sort accom for them in order to free up usage of that side of Leazes Terrace, probably a small price to pay. Some of it is already office use so it isn't residential only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Need to invest in some heater lamps for the boulevard mind, as Leazes Terrace will never see the sun again once we’re finished with this new stand.

I'd be as concerned with where those fans go if there needs to he a complete demolition and rebuild of the East Stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the data, I'm making assumptions based on the national situation. Student accommodation and housing are a bit different. I don't know enough about Leazes Terrace to say what it's classed as or what would need to happen to change it to a business property. I remember Ponsaeleus mentioning it a while ago as a possibility though. But yeah, Newcastle definitely has far more student accommodation than it needs. Heaton and Jesmond are winding down their student populations and buy to let properties in those areas are going up for sale partly for that reason.
