Victoria Harbour

Victoria Harbour, 30 years from now?

Hartlepool's Victoria Harbour

Don't hold your breath waiting for this one to start, but the long term plan for one of Britain's last undeveloped vacant docklands, is huge.

It’s probably the development you’ve heard least about, but this is the biggie.

Don’t expect to see much happen for a few years, but we’re talking 800 acres of prime dockland, £1bn of investment and, did someone mention the longest opening footbridge on the planet? All we’ll say is, watch this space.

How it may look 25 to 30 years from now

If you ever go from Hartlepool Marina to the Headland, you’ll know you have to travel around a whole load of something. The reason is, the whole area is fenced off by customs, because the land is owned by PD Ports, the people who operate Teesport.

From the air you can see. Not much there

But they hardly use any of it, so the plan is, over the next 25 to 30 years, to turn the dock into a whole new community and to link up Hartlepool Marina with the historic Headland (if you haven’t been since they did it up, go and take a look. Now. I’ll wait until you get back. In fact, I’ll give you a lift.)

Why 25 to 30 years before they even forecast getting this finished? Just look at the scale of it. 3,430 homes, schools and 57,000 square metres of office space.
