Is your land in Jarrow the kind we want?
Small sites in and around Jarrow are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Jarrow lies about 5 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear. We also cover Hebburn, South Shields, North Shields and the villages between them.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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 decides whether a site in Jarrow works
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 169 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Why do larger developers ignore small sites?
Large builders tend to focus on bigger schemes that suit their overheads. Small sites need a different approach, which is why we actively look for them.

For a small site with a clear plan and photos, we can usually say quickly whether it is worth pursuing and how.

Do I need to pay anything to have land in Jarrow assessed?
