JG Land & Estates (JGLE) recently received outline planning permission for its masterplan for the regeneration of the Allens West site at Eaglescliffe near Stockton-on-Tees.

The 112-acre mixed-use development is situated on a brownfield site close to the A19. Upon completion the site will consist of 500 new homes, 90,000 sq ft of industrial warehouse space, 10,000 sq ft of office accommodation, 2,500 sq ft of retail space, a care home and community facilities.

Concerns had been raised at the public consultation that the number of homes was too great for the area. JGLE responded that the Stockton-on-Tees area needed new homes if it was to fulfil Government targets. It also argued that it will be providing a mix of different homes which are not provided in the locality, including 15% which will be affordable.

John Jowitt, planning director for JG Land & Estates, said: “We’re naturally very pleased that the committee has approved of our plans for Allens West. We’ve worked hard to put together a high quality, well designed scheme, which will transform the site and bring numerous benefits to the local community for many years to come.”
