Plans for a new £20 million industrial scheme in Sunderland are set to go out for public consultation this week.
Planning and development consultancy Lichfields will outline proposals by Jomast Developments which could serve up 81,000 sq ft of industrial and warehouse space in a number of trade counter units, a 21,000 sq ft food store, food and drink facilities and a petrol station on land to the north of Deptford Terrace.
The move is being welcomed by local planning experts as a positive step in the regeneration of a former glass works site that has been vacant for over 15 years. It could create or sustain 135 jobs during the initial construction phase as well as more than 300 roles once complete.
