East Midlands-based developer Rula Developments is progressing plans for a major commercial regeneration project in Eaglescliffe that could create up to 1,000 jobs. The 54-acre Teeslink site, adjacent to Durham Lane Industrial Park, has been earmarked for warehousing, office, and ancillary employment space.
Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council appointed Rula as the preferred developer. Rula has submitted a hybrid planning application outlining key infrastructure upgrades, including new access roads, cycle and pedestrian links, and improved surface water drainage. The proposal also seeks outline consent for around 775,500 sq ft of employment space.
The scheme is backed by £3 million in grant funding from the Tees Valley Combined Authority’s Indigenous Growth Fund, which aims to unlock strategic sites for development across the region.
Future planning submissions will detail building designs, height, scale, and landscaping. The project is expected to support the borough’s broader economic growth plans by providing a mix of employment opportunities.
Local businesses and residents have been invited to provide feedback as part of the public consultation process.
