Land to East of Chain Bridge Road, Blaydon

The land to be sold occupies a prominent position on Chain Bridge Road and extends to approximately 3.37 Ha (8.33 acres). It is relatively flat and is bounded by adjacent employment uses to the north, Chain Bridge Road to the west, mature trees to the south and playing fields to the west. The site benefits from its open aspect to the south west overlooking adjacent playing fields and Shibdon Local Nature Reserve beyond.

The site currently accommodates the former Ikea depot buildings which are vacant and are anticipated to be demolished as part of any future planning application. The main building is located to the centre of the site, with a smaller building located to the eastern boundary. The site is currently served by an internal estate road which enters the site from the north and surrounds the main depot building.

Vehicular and pedestrian access is currently via Chain Bridge Road from the north west; however, it is anticipated that the future primary access will be taken via a new junction opposite Shibdon Road from the western boundary.
