The club are still looking to identify a new site for a new world class training complex in the future.

Newcastle United confirm training ground plans

A club statement released on Tuesday read: “Newcastle United have submitted plans to extend the club’s current first team Training Centre as work to identify a new site for a future training facility continues.

The redevelopment proposals look to build upon the significant work carried out at the Darsley Park site in recent years, which has helped to deliver elite performance facilities for first team players and staff.

“Planning permission has been submitted for 1,350 square metres of necessary new-build accommodation, focusing on new office and meeting space and additional support facilities.

“In turn, the existing building will be reconfigured to provide further treatment spaces and staff support areas, alongside improved front of house facilities and an enlarged players’ lounge.

“The site is currently occupied by 140 personnel. Staff and visitor numbers to the site will remain unchanged following the extension.

“The proposal improves space planning, and provides enhanced facilities by enabling the removal of low quality temporary buildings.

“The site area includes revised car parking to the north and west perimeter of the extension, with pedestrian access into the office, media and storage spaces.

“Accessible parking spaces have been provided along the north of the extension in close proximity to the main entrance.
