Fellgate stands as a haven amidst the urban sprawl of Jarrow, Hebburn and Sunderland Tyne and Wear. A bastion of greenery and fertile farmland. It now faces the relentless march of urbanisation, which brings pollution, increases flooding, destroys wild life, decimates bio diversity, will end generations of farming with a loss of vital jobs and increases traffic congestion along the major roads towards White Mare Pool. This remaining green belt is not just soil, crops and grass; it’s a crucial sanctuary for diverse life forms, a purveyor of fresh air, and a vital link for our community to nature’s bounty. Yet, this sanctuary is now imperilled, threatened by the looming spectre of development. We implore your aid in its defence.

Proposal to safeguard wildlife & users of A194


We hope you are well and enjoying your walks taking in the beautiful Fellgate Green Belts Landscape. Just to let you know that the working group met on Tuesday last week to discuss issues related to our campaign. The recent NPFF consultation was discussed and the difficulties in completing it. Thanks to all who completed some of it. There is a lot going on in the background and we’ll pass information on to you as soon as we can. As a campaigning group we all need to keep adding the photographs and stories of what the Fellgate Green Belt means to us. We need to keep the wonderful wildlife that currently resides in the Fellgate Green Belts beautiful natural habitat ‘centre stage’ as well as highlight flooding and traffic issues that regularly occur in and around the area. We need to be ready for whatever South Tyneside Councils next step may be. Most of all, we need to Stay Positive 😊

The next steps following the closure of a National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) consultation typically follow a structured process, ensuring that the government and or relevant planning authority properly considers feedback.

1. Review and Analysis of Feedback; 2. Consultation Report ; 3. Policy Revisions; 4. Internal and Interdepartmental Discussions; 5. Publication of Final NPPF; 6. Implementation Guidance; 7. Parliamentary or Legislative Scrutiny; 8. Training and Awareness; 9. Monitoring and Review

We do not have an offical time scale when this activity will end. However, UK Parliament normally published a day by day of events for the House of Commons, House of Lords and Committees, So we should see in advance any activity on the outcomes of the consultation.
