Garage courts and yards we are looking for in Tynemouth
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Tynemouth, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. Tynemouth lies about 8 miles north-east of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear. We also cover North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay and the villages between them.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Tyne and Wear centres on Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Sunderland, with South Shields, North Shields, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Washington and Jarrow. Green Belt surrounds the conurbation and separates its towns, so most housing comes from previously developed land, former shipyard and industrial sites, and town-centre regeneration. Grey belt and small fringe sites around villages can also come forward.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Tynemouth
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Parts of Tyne and Wear are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 172 miles from Tynemouth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
