Enterprise Zone Sites
Two sites in North Tyneside have been granted Enterprise Zone status. The Swans Offshore Energy Park and the Port of Tyne North Estate are part of the overall North East Low Carbon and Advanced Manufacturing Enterprise Zone which has also been identified as one of six of the UK’s dedicated CORE (Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering) sites. Together, the Enterprise Zones are expected to create more than 7,000 new jobs by 2022, with at least as many new indirect jobs in the local supply chain. Enterprise Zone status provides incentives for investors including a simplified planning regime making development and growth quicker and easier.
