Propose a site for potential development

Gateshead Council and Newcastle City Council are carrying out a call for sites. Landowners, stakeholders and organisations can make the councils aware of any sites with the potential for new development.

Newcastle and Gateshead councils are currently accepting new site submissions to inform the development of the NewcastleGateshead Local Plan. Previous Calls for Sites have been undertaken by the councils and sites submitted in the past do not need to be resubmitted. This updated exercise requests new sites to ensure our site information remains current and comprehensive. 

If you have land that you believe is suitable for sustainable development - whether for housing, employment, or other uses, we encourage you to submit it for consideration. This will help us build an accurate and up-to-date picture of land availability across both authority areas, informing the first joint Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) due to be published in Summer 2026 and supporting the development of the NewcastleGateshead Local Plan. 

The CFS will run from Tuesday 4 November to Friday 5 December. We’re inviting submissions for new sites that have not previously been submitted through the planning process or earlier calls for sites.

Please see the link to the NewcastleGateshead Local Plan CFS webpage here.

Submissions for sites are currently open
