Arlington submits DurhamGate North plans
The developer wants to build a 6,000 sq ft office block at the business park.
The two-storey building would potentially house four office suites and have EV car parking and soft landscaping.
The business park is already home to Learning Curve Group’s 22,000 sq ft headquarters and the £26m Durham Constabulary Investigative Hub, which opened in December and has 48 cells across four wings and houses specialist detective teams, the crime scene investigation unit, evidence stores, and the firearms licensing department.
The wider 85-acre DurhamGate site includes around 650 homes, as well as businesses including Livin Housing, Breedon Group and Stanley Black & Decker.
Dean Cook, managing director of Arlington Real Estate, said: “I feel there is a market need for small, high quality, sustainable office schemes, which we can support with this proposed development.
“The lack of new office developments and the increase in hybrid working over having staff remote is fuelling the need for this type of development.”
