Gaining outline planning consent in 2000, it was able to meet the ‘very special circumstances’ required for green belt release, in an era when strong Brownfield First policies were in place. This may have been aided by an agreement that 1 initially linked development at NGP with brownfield development in inner areas of Newcastle, aiming for a ratio of two-thirds brownfield development to one-third greenfield. The site is large and contains a diverse range of housing types, plus many areas that are still in progress or yet to be developed. According to the 2000 outline consent, development within each of the constituent cells must be carried out according to a Development Site Strategy Statement approved by the council for that cell. The first sections to be built were Cells H and I to the east of the A1.

  • Tyne & Wear Archives Service
    Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Archives Collection, Acquisition and Disposal Policy V1.3 Approved by JAMC 22 November 2012 Date for review:1/11/2015 Tyne & Wear Archives Collection, Acquisition and Disposal Policy Background A county archives service for Tyne and Wear was established in 1974 by Tyne and Wear County Council, on the foundation of the collections of the Newcastle Archives Office, whose remit was extended to cover the whole of Tyne and Wear. A branch archive was maintained in North Tyneside until 1988, when the collections there were centralised, and significant archive collections held by libraries and museums in the other Tyne and Wear local authorities have also been transferred to Tyne & Wear Archives over the years. Rationalisation of holdings has also taken place from 1974 with Durham County Record Office and Northumberland Archives, particularly (though not exclusively) in relation to the archives of local authorities and their predecessors. Introduction Tyne & Wear Archives accepts records for continuing preservation in accordance with its Collection, Acquisition and Disposal policy. This policy sets out criteria for selection decisions and also identifies material that falls outside the scope of the collection. For the purposes of this policy, archives are defined as an accumulation of records from an organisation or individual, which are no longer needed to conduct current business and which are selected for preservation because of the evidential and historical information they contain or as evidence of activities. Records are defined as including, but not restricted to, manuscripts, typescripts, maps, plans, drawings, photographs, digital records, sound and moving image recordings, printed works and any other formats that form an archive, or an integral part of an archive, of an organisation or individual.

  • Building the Tyne and Wear Metro
    THE CHARTERED INSTITUTION OF HIGHWAYS & TRANSPORTATION Building the Tyne and Wear Metro The Tyne and Wear Metro is a light rail system with 78km of track and 60 stations, many of them interchanges with bus and other rail services to give an integrated public transport system. It was conceived in 1971, opened in 1980 with the first phase completed in 1984. Two major extensions to Newcastle Airport and Sunderland have since been completed. The Metro was the first comprehensive light rail system in the UK outside of London. Planning and building it is a fascinating story and its completion paved the way for other cities to follow. 1 The Original Metro The Tyne and Wear Metro is a light railway rapid transit system and was initially built on 55km of track with 44 stations and 90 Metrocars serving parts of North Tyneside, Newcastle, Gateshead and South Tyneside. Detailed planning of Metro was started in 1971 as a core element of a planned integrated passenger transport system. Construction of the original Metro commenced in 1974. A large part of it used the existing (then) British Rail line which ran in a circular loop from Central Station around eastern Newcastle and North Tyneside and the existing rail line from Newcastle to South Shields. New track was provided on those original lines, the existing stations were refurbished and new stations added. The British Rail lines bypassed the centre of Newcastle and a fundamental change was achieved by tunnelling under the centre of Newcastle, across a new river bridge and under central Gateshead. This ran from Jesmond Station north of Newcastle to Gateshead Stadium Station.
