Property consultancy George F. White has secured planning consent for a new Tesco Extra convenience store in Ushaw Moor, Durham working with North East architectural firm Nicholson Nairn and Newcastle based JC Consulting.
The store will breathe new life into the former Empire Cinema and Ushaw Moor Working Men’s Club site, which is south of Cockhouse Lane and west of Station Road.
The development will see an £800k investment with work expected to begin this spring and its opening anticipated before the end of the year. Six new jobs will be created.
