New contractor sought for major Durham scheme
Durham County Council has agreed an
application allowing for the creation of
a brand-new living, working and leisure
destination in the heart of the city.
The permission enables the joint
venture of Arlington Real Estate and the
Richardson family to deliver the first phase
of development at Milburngate which,
on completion, will provide a range of
leisure facilities, bars and restaurants, high
quality offices and luxury apartments.
The joint venture is currently engaged
in a pre-qualification process with
potential construction partners and,
following the completion of this in the
coming weeks, an invitation to submit
tenders from shortlisted contractors will
be issued.
Milburngate has attracted a range
of premium occupiers including the
Everyman boutique cinema, Pitcher
& Piano and the new concept steak
restaurant Bar + Block.
These high-profile brands will be joined
by a 92-bed Premier Inn hotel; a detailed
planning application for which will be
submitted separately to Durham County
Council.
This landmark development in Durham
will create a regionally-significant
destination and lead to the creation of
more than 1,000 new jobs, as well as
enhancing the leisure, business and
residential opportunities in the area.
Supermarket to anchor redevelopment of former prison
Fast-growing UK supermarket group Lidl
has been announced as the retail anchor

bring up to 40 new jobs for the local
community.
The multi-million pound investment
will be the key element of the first phase
of the Treadmills scheme, which will also
feature another 550m2 retail unit and
parking for around 130 vehicles.
A detailed planning application for the
first phase is expected to be submitted this

Essential Steelwork Design 2 day course
This course introduces the concepts and
principles of steel building design, before
explaining in detail the methods employed by
Eurocode 3 for designing members in bending,
compression and tension. Bristol
Structural Metal Decks (SMD) says that it
has followed up on its 2016 launch of roof
deck profiles with a new floor deck product
for the UK market.
The company claims its long-span profile
TR220 metal decking product augments the
existing range and follows on from SMD
signing an exclusivity agreement with an
overseas manufacturer for the product which
can span up to 6m.
The TR220 product is said to offer
designers an alternative to pre-cast planks,
and has been specifically designed for car
parks or buildings where space
uninterrupted by supporting beams or
columns is required.
SMD Technical Director Jamie Turner
said: “We are spanning the gap in our
product range. This will open up a whole
new sector of the market and allow us to
provide an even more comprehensive service.
“The TR220 will complement and not
compete with our existing products as it
provides a different solution – one we have
been seeking to introduce for some time.”
He added: “The TR220, because of its
span, is often used on the lower two floors of
high-rise buildings and is an engineering
solution we haven’t previously been able to
offer.
“It will enable us to tender for whole
building contracts whereas previously our
opportunities may have been restricted to
upper levels of this type of project.”

Hambleton District Council and
Hull-based regeneration company
Wykeland Group have formed the Central
Northallerton Development Company to
drive forward the North Yorkshire town’s
most significant regeneration scheme for
decades.
As well as the major stores, the £16M
scheme will include independent retail
units, managed workspaces, restaurants,
a cinema, an area for public events and a
heritage centre within the 3.5-acre former
prison site.
The scheme will preserve and enhance
a major part of Northallerton’s history and
heritage; regenerate a large brownfield site;
deliver a major boost to the local economy;
and bring significant new community
assets and facilities to the town.
Five listed former prison buildings
will be refurbished and incorporated into
the Treadmills scheme – whose name
reflects that the jail was once home to the
world’s largest treadmill and several other
treadwheels which were used by inmates
sentenced to hard labour.
