The Rise
Scotswood, Newcastle upon Tyne
The Rise is the regeneration of a 60 ha site that had been derelict for more than half a century standing over pitshafts in the West End of Newcastle. The site had to reinvent itself to have any chance of sustaining a successful housing market so the city council led a JV Partnership to form the New Tyne West Development Company. The Scotswood Regeneration project is an innovative collaboration between the private sector; Keepmoat and Barratt, and the public sector; the Newcastle City Council, as well as local residents, in the delivery of area wide regeneration. The scheme exploits the site’s topography at the top of the Tyne valley with new house types with generous terraces to enjoy the views, plus attractive pricing to attract a mix of households. The scheme benefits from a site-wide district heating network from a central CHP energy centre which provides Code for Sustainable Homes level 4.
