Masterplan for 35ha scheme includes 1300 homes and the UK's first 100% recycled park

Architect Studio Egret West has unveiled these images of a 35ha masterplan for South Shields riverside. The scheme, which will include five new neighbourhoods with over 1300 homes, will also create a waterfront park, New Shore.

The design connects the park with South Shields town centre via a community terrace that covers a six metre change in level. This terrace, which the architect describes as 鈥渓ike a giant oyster encrusted with barnacles鈥� will be constructed using engineered fill from other large scale projects in the north east of England. This makes the park, the architect says, the first 100% recycled park in the UK.
