16/01562/FUL | Erection of a public house and restaurant facility (use class A4) with associated car parking, landscaping and access. | Former Dewhirst Factory Pennywell Industrial Estate Sunderland SR4 9EP

http://www.sunderland.gov.uk/online-appl...ab=summary&keyVal=OCIKX8BBILZ00

-------------------


First building on the VAUX site is due to completed by the end of 2017

Vaux Phase 1
The on site start date for the Vaux Phase 1 main works has been revised from June 2016 to October 2016 due to finalisation of planning requirements and legal agreements, unforeseen ground contamination, and additional archaeology work. The revised start date has resulted in an estimate of £8.397m being re-profiled into 2017/2018. The additional site investigations have reduced the risk to the project, providing greater certainty to delivering within timescales and cost. The works therefore are still scheduled to complete end of 2017 with no funding implications.

Possible new development for Rainton Meadows Arena.
This involves construction of a new Aldi store.

The owners have been trying to redevelop that land for years without success. At one point a Travelodge was on the cards.

Edit: http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/busin...-1-8182501 More on the plans.

Planning app in to complete the Dewhurst site redevelopment:

16/01830/FUL | Demolition of vacant factory shop and lean to. External alterations to existing industrial/warehouse building and alterations to car park, to facilitate subdivision and conversion to 4 no. trade warehouse units. | Former Dewhirst Factory Pennywell Industrial Estate Sunderland SR4 9EP


Looks like 4 more units on top of the proposed 3 already (KFC, Aldi and the Pub)


I could become a decent area for shops.. Bet they'll be a Greggs, B&M store haha

I'd be sad to see the Rainton Meadows Arena go. Had some awesome nights in there over the years, and to be honest, the refurbishment has done it a lot of good. They seem to get good crowds in with boxing and such.

Sunderland’s Vaux site development is being showcased to potential Chinese investors today. The site is included in a portfolio of projects across the Government’s ‘Northern Powerhouse’ area, which sets out details of 13 large-scale property and infrastructure development projects - each worth more than £100million - in an attempt to attract Chinese investors.

The Vaux site The Vaux site Chancellor Philip Hammond is meeting a Chinese delegation headed by vice premier Ma Kai in London for the eighth UK-China Economic and Financial Dialogue as ministers seek to underline that Britain remains “open for business” following the vote for Brexit. Mr Hammond said China and the UK remained “natural partners”. “The mutual benefits are clear,” he said.
