Welcome back to my series about the evolution of Newcastle Great Park, one of the biggest housing developments in the North of England.

Let’s have a look at how Great Park is getting along! Newcastle Great Park (NGP) is a huge housing development in the North East of England near Gosforth. It’s been under construction since the start of the millennium and this series of articles is tracking progress over the years. Enjoy!

Newcastle Great Park is a housing estate in North East England. It’s been under construction since 2001 and in this series of articles I’m following the progress of this development. As someone who has worked and lived here for many years it’s a topic that’s close to my heart. Here’s updates from 2014!

Let’s rewind back to 2013 and see how this huge housing estate has evolved over the years. From the building of the local community centre through to the start of Cell C, the continuation of Cell F and the earliest progress on the town centre.

Newcastle Great Park is one of the biggest housing developments in the North of England. It’s a new suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne around four miles north of the city centre. I’ve watched the development closely, from the first brick being placed around 2001 through to living and working in the estate for over eight years. It’s a development that’s had its fair share of controversy with delays caused by both the 2008 financial crisis and more lately due to environmental campaigners. I’ll be keeping well clear of the politics of Great Park in this series of articles. I just thought it would be interesting to document the growth of this landmark development.
