Outline planning permission has been granted for Phase 2 of Integra61, representing a further £340 million investment in what is already one of the North East’s leading mixed-use employment destinations.

The approved plans will deliver up to 3 million sq ft of additional industrial and logistics space, providing opportunities for manufacturing, storage and distribution businesses of varying sizes. Building on the success of Phase 1, where around 90% of the original 3 million sq ft has already been developed, Phase 2 will support continued investment and business growth at Junction 61 of the A1(M).

Once fully developed, Phase 2 has the potential to support around 3,000 new jobs, generating significant economic benefits for County Durham and the wider North East.
