Felling Town Centre

Reeves & Co. are acting on behalf of The Helmsley Group and The Felling Syndicate to aid with proposed plans that will see a transformation of Felling Town Centre.  This page has been set up to provide interested parties with a platform to view the proposals and to make comments on the development. Additionally updates will be provided by the developer in the ‘comments’ section at the bottom of this page

SUMMARY

The proposals will see total demolition of the existing Felling Shopping Centre to make was for a new Supermarket and a brand new parade of retail units. The scheme will be built in two stages with the new parade being constructed while the current one remains in situ until such a time as the tenants can be relocated across to the new scheme.

The proposals will see an increased footfall to Felling Town Centre and are expected to be the first step in a major scheme of regeneration for the area which has suffered from a lack of investment over recent years.  Reeves and Co. are assisting in relocating the tenants from the existing parade into the newly proposed scheme as well as dealing with enquiries from other potential tenants.

  1. Thank you to everybody who attended the public consultation on 19th and 20th October at Felling Shopping Parade. Over 1,000 made the effort and the responses and comments recieved are invaluable to us. We were pleased to see that the response was generally very positive, we are looking at addressing a number of the concerns and issues that were raised by local residents and will be updating again in due course. If you wish to make any further comments please do so on his site or contact us directly on 01904 682800 / info@reevesandco.com

    Regards,
    Max Reeves

  3. We are seeking local residents thoughts on what they would like to see happen to Victoria Square. Please add any ideas? Many comments were recieved from the public consultation that the Square could be returned to its original form before the planters were added? – All thoughts welcome

  4. I welcome the plans, a bright vibrant new Felling Square. I agree with removing the planters as they can be welcome during the summer months but cluttered during the winter months. I’d like to see more open space in the centre of felling so maybe good quality paving with some form of pavement lighting feature to make the area feel safe and secure.

    I also wondered after looking at the plans, there seems to be a lot less stores in the square development at this stage than currently exist, are there plans for a phase 2 to include the area where the former Kwiksave and empty shops currently lie?

  6. D – We are currently working on the design for Victoria Sq. with Gateshead Council, your comments are appreciated and I will pass these forward.

    The intention of the scheme is to provide a catalyst for further regeneration in Felling. We (as the developer) have no control over the former Kwiksave site/High steet althrough we are exploring another large site within Felling for improvement.

    Max

  7. Anonymous – It is predicted there will be a significantly increased number of jobs created from the development. the present Shopping parade employes approx 59 full time equivalent jobs, the proposed development will be approx. 172.

    Max

  8. Thanks for your comments Max, it is good to hear about further opportunities being investigated and look forward to hearing more about that as things progress.

    I also wondered whether I would be right in assuming the supermarket in question is to be an Asda? my attention to detail noticed that on the plans the supermarket has a George stockroom, which of course is the Asda clothing brand.

  9. D – We cannot at the moment announce who the supermarket operator is, we hope to be able to do this shortly – Please treat the plans as indiciative for the time being.

    Max

  11. Hi Mark, my understanding is employment opportunities will go to local people so I am assuming that staff from the Co-Op (assuming they are not relocating as part of the development) will be able to apply for any vacancies at any of the stores! Personal experience of the Co-Op though is they look after there employees!

  13. After some delay we are pleased to confirm the planning application was submitted last week. Details are available to view on the Gateshead Council website. All going to plan the development is due to commence January 2013. Regards, Max

  16. that is all very well but until someone does something about the awful public houses in the felling, it will never be what it used to be, a nice friendly place to live where people knew each other and cared. It is not new building’s that make a community they have even closed one of our best schools, sad that people do not know what is important anymore..

  22. We still cannot confirm the operator I am afraid, this will ba announced fairly shortly.

    Regards,
    Max

  23. I am pleased to announce we have recently purchased the former Bingo Hall and Amusement Arcade at Felling. At present we have no firm plans for the buildings and are currently seeking interest from any parties. However this does represent an exciting opportunity for further regeneration in Felling, we already have interest in the site from a number of potential occupiers and so hope to have the building re-opened in one form or another before the completion of the overall Felling centre re-development.

    All enquiries please contact Max on 01904 682800

    Regards,
    Max

  24. Cant really tell from the plans but can the developers be sure to include adequate litter bins sited at sensible positions around the site. I know there will always be people too lazy to use them but more bins will hopefully lessen the amount of litter deposited on our streets. One small step to improve the area we live in.

  25. As a Felling resident and homeowner it is encouraging that investment looks to be forthcoming in an area of Gateshead that desperatly needs it. However the benefits will not be maximised if the current retailers are simply allowed to transfer their low grade trade to new retail units. More effort is needed to drag the standards of Felling retail out of the proverbial gutter and bring in more innovative businesses. I find it difficult to buy into the promised increase in footfall if the same businesses are merely given a superficial polish. Too many retail zones are filling with bookmakers, pawnbrokers and other such purveyors and proponents of the insidious destruction of local retail (to say nothing of the impacts of a single major supermarket).

  26. I couldn’t agree more I really hope that we manage to maintain the bigger multiples presence at Felling Square including Boots, Greggs & Dicksons! I am guessing that lloyds will use the opportunity to close their branch and move all business to Gateshead which seems to be quite common amongst high street branches but it woud be great to see them possibly moving into a a refurbished existing unit on high street or around the development. I also saw somewhere that Holland & Barrett have a requirement for a store in Felling which could be a useful addition to this development! Wishlist for Felling retailers!! Iceland, Argos, Holland & Barrett, Starbucks? (Just a pie in the sky wishlist but thought it would be fun to get a census of the sort of retailers people would like to see)

  27. oh and great news on the bingo hall! I’d love to see this brought back into use as a local amateur dramatics theatre, engaging the local community! I’ve seen this work in other towns before and gives kids the chance to engage in something positive in the area, whilst allowing a leisure activity for residents of felling!

  28. If there is no indication on the plans re the security aspects of a bank (vault etc) I would suggest that Lloyds have made their mind up and are leaving Felling. Alan H

  29. We are pleased to announce that planning for the new development was granted today (4th April 2012).

    The vote was passed unanimously by the planning committee.

    Further announcements will follow confirming the tenant line up and an announcement of the Supermarket operator.

    Development is still due to commence on 1st February 2013. It is planned that all existing tenants will remain in occupation until this time.

    Regards,
    Max

  30. Thats fantastic news and a big vote of confidence in Felling! are there any developments in relation to the former bingo hall and potential new uses?

  31. If you look at the small print in the corner on the plans it does say ASDA, so looks like thats what we are getting.

  32. Can you tell us who is going to be in the supermarket is it Asda as everyone thinks it is go on you can tell me I wont tell anyone go on spill the beans.

  33. Just noticed it does it does say Asda on the plans so felling is getting a new Asda supermarket.
    I just hope greggs and boots stay in felling.

  35. Will you be tackling the issue with drug users around the kwik save building and youth ASB around the high street???

  36. D – We are in discussions with a number of tenant’s with a variety of uses for both the Bingo Hall and adjoining Arcade. We are planning to re-open both at the same as the main car park development.

    Mick/Carl – Please treat the plans as indicative at this time, it won’t be long before we can announce the occupier (I have been saying that for a while now but it really will be very shortly!)

    Anonymous – Unfortunately as private developers we have no ownership or control of the Kwik Save building or the High Street. We hope that by introducing investment into the area we can help to improve it and the effects should filter across to the other areas of Felling, such as the High Street.

  38. Any developments on the supermarket commitment? Also you mentioned that you were looking at another large development site in Felling, was this the former Bingo hall you were referring to or is there another site? Has there been any commitments in relation to existing tenants at Victoria Square committed to staying as part of the development? Namely Boots & Greggs?

  39. will you be buying or tacking over the old kwik save store as well as the development that is going on or not

  41. Mark – We have no involvment or plans for the Kwiksave. We have considered what would be done with it and not thought of many solutions! Hopefully this new development will be enough of a draw to attract a new tenant into the building.

    Carl/D – I will be doing an update within 14 days on here

  45. What is the point of a 20th century shopping complex in Felling Square while Felling High St. is stuck in the 18th century? The back of the shops is over-run with rats and would be more suited to a Dicken’s novel. If a complete facelift isn’t achievable then the High St. should be demolished as it will drag the new complex down with it. You only have to look at Gateshead with the regeneration on the quayside and the new bus station built to welcome tourists but one look at the state of Gateshead High St. says it all.

  49. it might be that we have not heard anything because the plans have fell apart and its not happening now or it might be gateshead council stalling things like they did with the trinity square developement it took years for anything to happen but the fact we have not heard anything could mean there is a spanner in the works and that is why we are not being told anything.

  50. I have looked at the plans and for me personally, I am intrigued by the upcoming development. However, I agree with (Margaret Johnson on May 27, 2012) that the whole site needs redevelopment, not just one area.

    I would be very interested to attend any further meeting that are planned and look forward to putting my view forward to consideration.

  51. Dear all,

    Apologies for the delay in updating, I have been holding off until we have something specific to report. We will shortly be in a position to provide a more concrete update, there are just some final i’s to dot and t’s to cross. We are still in line to match our original proposed timescales.

    Regard,
    Max Reeves

  52. Gateshead Council head of environment and regeneration, Peter Thompson, said: “The redevelopment of Felling is a high priority to Gateshead Council.

    “The supermarket led development is a large and complex project and, just like any major project, it takes time. We appreciate that local people will be frustrated, we are as eager as they are to see these improvements completed. But they can rest assured that both the council and developers are working hard to turn these plans into reality.”

    “We are also working on long term plans to improve the vitality of Felling High Street and the surrounding areas. As progress takes place and when we can provide more information, we will ensure that Felling residents are kept informed.”

  53. With reference to some of the previous comments regarding Asda running the Supermarket, revision J dated dated 18/10/11 of the General Arrangement Drawing 1074/23/101, does say that that this amendment has been carried out in accordance with an Asda Drawing. So it seems that it was known 7 months ago that Asda would be the first choice. You only have to see the Asda Supermarkets in South Shields and Boldon to realise how awful these places are. I for one will not be shopping there – Morrisons are much more user-friendly than Asda.

  54. Just heard the BBC as released news that Brownfield development will strech from Gateshead town centre up to Felling .I wonder if this is why we have heard nothing in the last couple of months from the council……It allso says it will take twenty years to complete lol

  55. the brownfield developement it refers to is the sight next to Gateshead Highway and the site of the Go North east Bus Depot on Sunderland Road which is being vacated next year when they move into a new depot at the metro centre.

  56. Anu developments in relation to this scheme or other projects for Felling? I note ot has been some time since any announcements even though an anouncement was iminent! Any news on the supermarket element? Details of retailers staying as part of felling square?

  57. is there news you can give us yet you told us on 7 june that there was just some i’s to dot.

  58. ASDA have signed the contract to take the new supermarket site!! Can’t wait for it to be up and running!! Any news on when ASDA will be open for trade?

  62. Born in felling and sooooooo pleased to see it having a make over!!! lets hope their are jobs for people who live in the area also ….

  64. Dear All,

    On behalf of the developer, we are pleased to confirm ASDA as the supermarket operator, a full tenant line up for the remaining retails units will be released in the not to distant future.

    We are also pleased to announce on behalf of the Landlords of the Bingo Hall site that we are in the later stages of negotiations for a retail tenant of the former Arcade unit adjoining the Bingo Hall on Victoria Square (subject to planning at this stage). It is planned that this will open the same time as the supermarket scheme opposite and will help to bring this redundant building back into use drawing the retail offering of the town back around Victoria square and towards the High Street.

  65. I cannot wait for the opening of this new and exiting development. It will bring Feliing square back to its former glory and encourage a lot of local shopping. Well done

  66. Have Asda payed Gateshead council for the redevelopment , just like Tesco did for the town centre . It makes you wonder how the co-op can get kicked out pretty much overnight, they have been there over 30 years at least.

  67. no asda did not pay gateshead council its the lanloard that is chaging the shopping centre :) and i would perferd it to be morrisons the the FAT CATS ASDA

  68. Anonymous on September 28,2012 at 4:35 pm said
    Hoping it will be Morrisons as Asda have enough supermarkets.
    Give Morrisons a chance.
    Will keep fingers crossed.X

  70. anything is an improvement as at the moment felling is an eyesore and in desperate need of a re vamp

  71. Hi Max,
    Can you advise if the co-op will remain? Also, as someone else has commented….are the current retailers remianing or is there scope to bring in new retailers such as starbucks etc? Or are all your retail units taken already?

    For the bingo hall…..having just had two children and having frequnted many many soft plays I think this would make a perfect soft play! I’d love to be able to open it as such myself. I suspect you could offer supervised soft play whilst mumy and daddy did the weekly shopping…,.

    Thanks
    Lisa

  72. any more news yet i hear that its nothing is happing till april now. or maybe its not going ahead anymore (HOPE SO HATE BLOODY ASDA)

  73. Dear Lisa,

    We are relocating some of the tenants from the existing parade, Co-op are not one of those due to re-locate.

    Thank you for the suggestion regarding the Bingo Hall, at the moment we are leaving all options for the building on the table.

    Regards,
    Max

  74. Dear Jules,

    We are moving forward with the scheme and are keen to get on site as soon as we are able. Unfortunatly this is quite a complicated develoment with the large number of tenants in the existing parade who we are having to work with, however we are getting there and are still set to proceed early in 2013.

    Max

  75. Hello Max,

    Can you tell us who is going to be taking on the new shops which of the existing tenants are are getting the new shops others have mentioned they would like Greggs and Boots to be in the new development which I agree with but can you tell us who is getting them

  76. Hello Max,
    Yes I would still like to have Greggs and Boots in the New Development is there any chance
    they are returning.

  77. Hi Max,
    Is it true the CO OP is not now closing till March – April, if so what is the new start date?

  78. Dear All,

    The full tenant line up should be confirmed shortly.

    We are endeavouring to keep the co-op open for as long as possible until we actually start building on site to minimise the time Felling has without a supermarket facility. As we are still working on technical detail for the project it is likely we will now be pushed back to starting on site March/April.

    Regards,
    Max

  79. Hi Max

    Many thanks for the update, can I ask are there any new tenants coming to Felling Square in addition to the already announced Asda store? If there is interest I don’t expect to confirm names but was just wondering whether it was just relocating stores or a combination of new and relocation.

    D

  80. D – It is predominantly stores relocating from the existing parade, we may have one new tenant in the parade but we have not yet got this confirmed.

  82. I suspect Lloyds Tsb will use this as an excuse to close this branch and transfer the staff to gateshead.

  84. Dear Mrs P Wallace and Carl,

    One of the units is proposed to remain as a bank.

    You may have noticed some work starting on the Bingo Hall, we hope to shortly be announcing a new occupier for the building which could be open as early as March this year.

    Regards
    Max

  85. Hi,I am glad there is still going to be a ltsb in the Felling.
    So you have started on the Bingo Hall, hopefully it won’t take long to see some progress.

  86. Thanks for the update Max, good to see work underway on bookmakers which is replacing the amusement arcade, assuming this is a relocation to accommodate Ladbrookes continuous trading whilst redevelopment of the square is underway! Great to hear a bank is still located, hoping Boots, Greggs & Dicksons are confirmed tenants soon!

  87. D – We have not actually started works on the bookmaker (Amusement Arcade), instead it is on the main Bingo Hall itself for which we are also very close to signing a tenant.

    Regards,
    Max

  88. That’s great news Max! I must admit that’s the tenant I am more curious to hear about as it’s such a large space and with the listed status, I’m guessing converting it for other uses are quite limited! All I know is that it isn’t Wetherspoon’s !!!

  91. to quote the reply I had from Weatherspoons

    ‘Felling is not for unless the whole town centre is redeveloped.

    Thanks for the idea.’

    fingers crossed that the Felling Square redevelopment leads to other parts of Felling square regeneration, would be good to see a Weatherspoon’s in Felling :)

  92. Thanks re ‘Spoons,Won’t be holding my breath about it.Think they mean never, after all how many town centres are re-developed completely in one go?

  95. strange it’s not showing on the licensing part of Gateshead Councils Website, is there a reference number Max? is there really a demand for another Bingo Hall in Felling? don;t understand why it was closed in the first place if there was?

  97. Hi Max,
    on the plans it states the changes for the junction at holy hill are TBC. I live near the junction and I’m concerned about the increased traffic – particularly the delivery lorries. Can you let me know how they plan to access the supermarket. Which route they plan to take and if any changes will be made to the roads.

  100. This development is following the pattern set by Trinity Square. We know how long that took to resovle!

  101. Hi Carl / Anonymous / AH – We continue to move forward on delivering this scheme but as I am sure you will appreciate this is a complicated project and it takes time to get all our ducks in a row.

    By way of an update:

    We have now discharged the various planning conditions for the scheme. This is important obstacle which needed to be overcome before work on site could commence. We would like to send our sincere thanks to Gateshead Council for the helpful and efficient way they have assisted us with the planning process. We have been very impressed by their pragmatic and pro-active attitude which has been essential to bring this scheme forward. They have to be congratulated for the way they are encouraging investment into Felling.

    All the documentation in relation to re-locating the existing tenants, agreeing with those that are not being re-located etc is now agreed. This has been a very laborious process with a large number of other parties involved but now we are finally through it.

    In terms of a start date we will soon be commencing more in depth ground investigation survey work and so you will start to see some activity on the ground. Any delays from now will be measure in weeks or months and not years. Please bear with us and rest assured we are working flat out to get this scheme out the ground – The wait will be worth it!

    You may have noticed progress on the Bingo Hall is well under way and will soon be re-opening which we are very pleased about, It is looking great inside having undergone a complete re-fit and I’d suggest well worth a visit when it opens. In addition the tenant for the former Amusement Arcade will also be signed up very shortly (although work on this unit will not start until later on in the year).

    Regards,
    Max Reeves

  102. Anon,Hi Max can you tell us which Supermarket is taking over in the square hoping it will be Morrisons.

  104. When I was a child all shopping was possible at Felling High Street we very rarely were taken to Gateshead and never Newcastle as our needs were met locally it would be wonderful for this facility once again. I have seen Felling Square change several times but I consider the best design (when I was a child) was a small park. People enjoy sitting in the square so a park style design would be good could even have a drink vendor unit. When we had a decent supermarket, Wm Lowes, it was very well patronized and the surrounding shops also did good trade they disappeared when Wm Lowes closed.I am overjoyed that my town is being redeveloped and only hope this opportunity is grasped to make it an attractive shopping area because there are plenty residents in Felling to make it worthwhile

  106. Whereas it is wonderful to see the Imperia come alive again it would of been fantastic to see it return as a cinema – I thought Bingo was a pastime that had outlived it’s popularity.

  110. Never herd anything about the garages being pulled down has anybody else
    got any information about it.Anon

  112. Heard via Co-op employee that they are told they are in work until September so looks like AH you are correct so cannot see Asda Store appearing by Nov this year.

  115. have you still got the funding to go a head with this there seams to be a lot of hold ups with it

  117. Dear all,

    Firstly apologies for the delay in an update:

    We understand the frustration that we are not yet on site. This is shared by us; as you will no doubt understand we are extremely keen to get going on this development.

    We are still trying to jump over the last few technical hurdles to allow us to progress the scheme, we were originally hoping to be well underway by now, however we have had to revise our timescales for starting on site. We are now aiming to commence the development August 2013, at which point the existing co-op will be demolished to make way for the scheme to start. The scheme is due to complete some 9 months later. Up until August we will be carrying out further ground investigation works on site and so you will slowly start to see some progress on the ground.

    I hope you will appreciate that this has been a very complicated project to bring to fruition with lots of different parties involved, we would ask you to bear with us, and we are doing everything in our power to bring this forward as soon as possible and are very nearly there!

    We do not expect any further delays past the new August 2013 start date.

    To confirm we have identified a funding source for the development and this is not the cause of the delay.

    As a by product of the main scheme the former Bingo Hall was purchased and as residents will know part has now re-opened as a Bingo Hall and we are told is well supported by locals whilst the adjacent Amusement Arcade will shortly be re-furbished and will be re-opening as a retail unit.

    This is a welcomed improvement to the area which will no doubt help to increase the vitality of Felling Town Centre.

    Regards,
    Max

  118. Good to have details direct from source but shame about the delay was hoping we would see a decent supermarket by Christmas this year but these obstacles happen.

  119. In the summary at the top of the page. it is stated that construction would take place and then stores/tenants would move in. Why is it now being said that the Co-op is closing to enable construction to start?

  120. the proposals state construction would take place and then demolition. Why has the Co-op now to close to before construction?

  121. I’ve knowen since day 1 that the co-op was closing before the construction could start this is not new.

  123. Building a B&Q they would need planning permission first before they could build anything and is only the Asda and the row of shows that has permission thus far!

  126. I think if it was true about Asda which I very much doubt, there would be a few other supermarkets queuing up to take on the store! That said I wouldn’t mind seeing a B&Q built on the old Kwik Save site!

  127. I think a B&Q is a bit adventurous for Felling but if we had some decent stores maybe the high street would come alive again. It’s such a shame that the shops in the middle of the high street have been empty for so long. When Wm Lowes was there all shops around did OK but rubbish supermarkets took over after Wm Lowes closed. However these people have nothing to do with any other area than the Felling Square. There are plenty of people in the Felling area who would be happy to shop in Felling again – so let it happen you people who can turn things around.

  128. Dear All,

    Just to clarify a few points:

    - ASDA are very much still on with the deal and legal documentation has been agreed and completed with them

    - We have had no discussions with B&Q

    - In terms of Timescales, The Co-op will have to be demolished at Day 1 to allow for building of the new Supermarket and shops, all the other remaining shops will remain open until the new scheme is constructed. Once it has been constructed a number of the tenants will move across to the new scheme and the existing parade will be demolished. As much as we would like to keep the Co-op open throughout the build we are unable to due to the constraints of the site

  129. Max,

    Can you tell us which of the existing shops are going to be in the in the new development.

  130. i think there are to meny run down shops in the felling now who would want to open a business there now its onlly going to get werse just look ay them shops by the dole thay are over 10 year old some still have no frounts on them

  132. The spelling is not important. If someone has something constructive to say why worry about the spelling Anonymous.

  134. Hi Max
    When are you going to inform us of the tenents that are moving in to the new scheme?

  137. Are the shops (I think they are shops) they are building in the square opposite Jubilee Pub part of this redevelopment? and does anyone know what they are going to be?. It would be lovely to have a shopping street like we used to have years ago we hardly needed to go into Newcastle.

  138. it would be nice to have some eateries – italian restaurant and a coffee shop also – starbucks or costa. Shame its Asda moving here – we are surrounded by them and it would have been nice to have an M&S or Sainsburys.
    Cant wait for this to start, Felling is a dump and has been for years – lets push out the scrag ends and make it a nice place for us decent people.

  139. Stacy I would love a nice shopping area to browse. I don’t mind it being an Asda as Sainsburys is not far away and at least a supermarket of name will bring folk to shop. I agree it would be lovely to have a restaurant/coffee shop and some one off attractive shops but I think we are living in a cloud wishing for that. A little Jesmond area style would be great.

  140. I have only lived in Felling for 2 years so I don’t know what it looked like in the past.Personally I would like to see the square bordered sparsely with planters and benches with a nice new surface to walk on.

  141. Stacy rather than push the ‘scrag ends’ out how about they are taught to be better instead of making them someone else’s problems. I assume you mean ‘trouble makers’ and not ‘dole claimers’. A nice decently priced cafe would be nice to see there. Calls for a Sainsbury or similar is obviously from people with some money to spend. Felling is not full of only working and middle class. Some people need cheaper shopping close by….. Asda goes some way to helping that (the one in Old Fold is pathetic). I myself am a carer of an adult disabled child and need cheaper shopping close to home to reduce travelling and this proposal is ideal for me and many others.

  142. Tracey if you would like to see pictures of Felling in the past if you are on facebook there is a wonderful group page called Felling past and present if you are not on facebook look at Gatesheadhistory site which has all surrounding areas including Felling.
