Where could Treasury North jobs be based in Darlington? Four possible locations

Chancellor Rishi Sunak this morning told Treasury officials that they would be relocating from London to Darlington, beating off competition from Newcastle, Leeds and Bradford.

But where will the jobs be based?

It's not been revealed yet, but here are four distinct possibilities...

Here are four places, where the Treasury Government base could be situated in Darlington:

Feethams House - the £8.5m office complex completed construction in May. 
The five-storey building is situated in the town centre.

Subsea firm DeepOcean, has signed an agreement to take 7,000sq ft of space across the whole of the top floor, while talks are continuing with other potential tenants.

Construction on the building, was funded by Darlington Borough Council, the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority and the European Regional Development Fund.

The building is currently being used as a vaccination site during the Covid pandemic.

Lingfield Point - the 107-acre business park is based in Lingfield Close. 
The huge complex was built in the 1940s as the largest wool factory in the world, for Patons & Baldwins.

It now offers as a business park, communications hub and a centre for the business community.

Lingfield Point is located next to the Stockton and Darlington railway, providing the factory with its own railway sidings.
The complex has enormous potential for expansion up to the Amazon site.

Central Park - this CPI development near Bank Top station could also be where the Treasury base could be situated. 

There is said to be space before the university building.

This would benefits staff by being situated near to train station.

Central Park is a 30 hectare brownfield site, between Haughton Road, Yarm Road, Hundens Lane and the railway line.

Darlington Borough Council have said they aim for the area to be created into a mixture of residential, commercial and educational developments to encourage job creation and economic growth.

Central Park is one of the regeneration flagship projects of the Tees Valley and is one of the 12 sites which make up the Tees Valley Enterprise Zone, with emphasis on attracting digital and biological industries to the area.

Teesside Airport - although this location is looking unlikely due to it not being in Darlington town centre, the airport may be a contender for the Treasury base.

Last week the airport revealed that budget airline Ryanair had unveiled its winter schedule from Teesside with new flights on sale to Majorca.

The Freeport bid for has also been described as 'game-changing' for the airport, which also announced flights to Heathrow to restart last year.
