The Site enjoys open aspects across the River Wear and a prominent setting close to key local landmarks. The Site is well connected to surrounding areas, with easy access to bus routes and a short distance to the A1 (M) Motorway (approx. 8 miles), providing good links to nearby towns and cities.
Planning
The Site is identified within the Urban Core in the adopted development plan for Sunderland. Under Core Strategy Policy SP2, development within the Urban Core is supported where it enhances connectivity and pedestrian movements, provides high-quality public realm, protects and enhances heritage assets, and delivers a high standard of design that integrates positively with the existing urban fabric.
The Site was also assessed within the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (December 2020), which concluded that the land is suitable for residential development and could potentially accommodate approx. 46 units within the next 11-15 years.
Planning Policy indicates the Site is suitable for a range of complimentary mixed-use developments, including residential (C3) housing or student accommodation, together with supporting uses such as assembly and leisure (D2), business uses (B1) excluding change to B8), small scale retail (A1) serving local demands, and restaurant and cafes (A3).
It is recommended that interested parties refer to local planning policy and seek independent advice from a planning consultant on the above.
