Sheepfolds area


Plans have just gone in today showing they are going to continue Easington street straight through to the SOL south west roundabout having a subway underneath to walk down to the riverside - this will be a continuation of the Keel line from the bridge it looks..

Suppose it'll look decent? But will the existing route in red on the screenshot above still be there? It might end up going once the houses start going up?

Looks like it's all going to be pedestrianised...maybe not a drive through

Edit..im wrong on that, there's vans parked up on the drawing

Lad in CTD tiles - on the corner opposite the big ET Thompson building - was telling me a couple of weeks back that they’ve got a long lease that will cost the council a bomb to buy out. Hanging on for a compulsory purchase order, I think. Said also that everything between there and the stadium is earmarked as car parking, to keep some distance between the housing and stadium noise.

noted in the planning docs is this

“As such, the completion of this infrastructure project will contribute to the social and economic activity associated with the Stadium of Light and the proposed Stables leisure venue, as well as the hotels, leisure, retail, education and other uses proposed in the masterplan for the redevelopment of the wider Sheepfolds site”.

More hotels are mentioned which is whats needed

Surely if he’s just leasing and they find suitable alternative premises he’s going to get very little?

Not sure how CPOs work mind.

That was it: something about the council hoping they could just buy them out cheaply, but it’s the head branch of several so the lease is longer and will cost more. It’ll end up part of the development all the same and we’ll never know the ins and outs of it, but just made me think how tricky the whole piecemeal buying up of the area must be.

It’s called compulsory for a reason. The owner and the owner only has the right to accept/reject any offer. In fairness I can’t see it being a compulsory purchase order tbf which is tricky.
Hopefully they get sorted.
