Greyhound Track and Industrial Estate

Notes

Area of vacant land that comprises part of a very large area of cleared industrial land. The land was previously occupied by the pit and associated railway land, terraced houses and allotment gardens. Offers opportunity to be part of an extensive redevelopment of the former Cambois Colliery site. This particular site is the location of the former Wansbeck Greyhound Stadium and some surrounding industrial land. The stadium has been vacant and derelict since closure in 2012. The site could potentially form part of wider regeneration scheme at Cambois, including other sites identified in the SHLAA. Significant constraints to development are recognised, notably locational factors and need for significant remediation. Widespread clearance would be required prior to redevelopment. An outline application for comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment of a wider site (5047, 5048, 5098, 5103) was submitted in 2008 but has now been disposed of (08/00403/OUTES). See site 5098 for full details. NB - all potential delivery is recorded under the main record.
