South Tyneside Strategic Land Review – Jarrow Draft Character Area Site Assessments March 2016 i ....“It should be noted that the inclusion of a site in the Strategic Land Review does not represent policy, and provides no guarantee that a site will be proposed for that allocation in the Local Plan, or that it will be granted planning permission. This is simply the first step which provides an opportunity for community involvement and further assessment”…. How to get involved Please provide us with comments regarding: the suitability of the sites appraised and their assessment? are there other uses that would be appropriate on these sites? are there any other sites that require appraisal? Response forms can be found and submitted online at www.southtyneside.gov.uk/localplan. Hard copies can be found at South Shields town hall and borough libraries and returned to the council at [email protected]. Please return all responses by the close of consultation on Thursday 30 June 2016. ii Jarrow Character Area Sites Analysis Summary 1 Rohm & Haas Viking Industrial Park Shell Oil Terminal Jarrow Tyne Slake Dock Jarrow Town Centre Tyne Tunnel Southern Portal Bede Industrial JARROW Estate HEBBURN Simonside Industrial Estate OUTER SOUTH SHIELDS Low Simonside Simonside Monkton Village Lindisfarne Interchange Primrose Brockley Whins FELLGATE & HEDWORTH 2 SLR Ref : JA1 Site Area :8.2 ha Site Location : Port of Tyne Infill, Jarrow Road, YES SHLAA Ref : NA South Shields Is the site in the Green Belt?

Prevent merging of South Tyneside with Sunderland, Washington or Gateshead? 4. Preserve the special & separate characteristics of the Urban Fringe villages? 5. Assist in the regeneration of the urban area?
