Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Jarrow
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Jarrow. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If you own industrial units, a business yard or commercial land that is surrounded by housing or underused, it may be worth more as a residential site. We look at employment land policy, tenancies and ground conditions before making an offer.

The commercial and industrial sites that interests us around Jarrow
Older business land around Jarrow, especially units now surrounded by housing, is the kind of commercial site we would like to discuss. Jarrow is in Tyne and Wear, about 5 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne. Nearby places include Hebburn, South Shields and North Shields.
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
The Tyne and Wear Metro and the East Coast Main Line are a focus for higher-density homes, and riverside regeneration continues along the Tyne and the Wear. The coast is internationally protected for birds, so schemes near the shore often contribute to recreation mitigation, and coal mining legacy checks are common inland.
What usually makes or breaks it
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 169 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Jarrow: common questions
Will the council object to losing business land?
Some councils protect employment land. Evidence that the site is no longer needed or suitable for business can help.
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Is Jarrow too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 169 miles from Jarrow, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Jarrow?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
