From last Monday's Chronicle:
New office blocks for airport land
A major development deal has been signed to bring new office space to Newcastle Airport.
Bosses at Newcastle International Airport and property group UK Land Estates have signed a 10-year development agreement for sites on the south side of the airport.
Already, they have secured provisional council support to grant planning permission for a 200,000sqft business park next to the Callerton Metro station.
The old, restrictive use condition has been removed to make it available to all users. There will be a further application for 400,000sqft of industrial and warehouse space next to the new runway apron.
Tim Witty, director in charge of the airport sites, said: “These developments will help transform the airport and complement the exciting activities there, in particular the growing network of destinations now serviced from the regional hub.”
It comes after the airport set out ambitious plans to expand with hundreds of new jobs over the next decade.
