Around 125 temporary and permanent jobs could be created as part of multimillion-pound plans to create a new local centre on the outskirts of Newcastle.

Sansec Developments is driving forward proposals for the new centre at East Middleton Callerton near Westerhope, Newcastle, which could see construction of a Co-op store, Cooplands Bakery and a veterinary centre.

If the scheme is approved by Newcastle planners it will also feature a new access road, car parking for 26 vehicles, landscaping and biodiversity enhancements, plus a community garden on land to the north of Stamfordham Road.

The Newcastle office of planning consultancy Lichfields, acting on behalf of Sansec, says more than 100 construction jobs could be created during the initial building phase with a further 25 full-time retail roles to follow when the site opens next year.

East Middle Callerton is part of the Callerton Neighbourhood Growth Area, which has been earmarked for around 3,000 new homes within the Newcastle Gateshead Core Strategy and Urban Core Plan (CSUCP).

Ben Harvey, CEO and owner at Sansec, said: “We look forward to seeing our plans come to fruition. As developers we want to provide high quality, accessible services for local neighbourhoods that form a key cornerstone of the local community.

“The East Middleton Callerton scheme is a delicate balance of creating a sense of place whilst maintaining and improving the natural environment. It will undoubtedly be a welcome addition to one of the region’s fastest growing residential areas.”
