Jade Business Park, Durham

About This Project

This 50-acre business park is on remediated colliery land, and is bounded by a mix of farmland, woodland and remediated amenity land.  Primary access to the sit, leads straight to the A19, with great links to Hartlepool and Sunderland.

Frank Shaw Associates, in conjunction with a wider team of fellow consultants, has developed a masterplan for B1 / B2 / B8 development, which integrates the site within ecologically rich surroundings, maintaining green buffering and public bridleways, while ensuring development flexibility & economic viability.

The local footpath network and Sustrans route will encourage access routes for pedestrians and cyclists to and from the local Dalton Shopping Centre, which is just 0.5km away, and providing desirable amenity opportunities to Jade’s workforce and future users.

Variations of the masterplan illustrates the sites flexibility to take a wide range of unit sizes and these form a key part of the sites’ marketing.
