 Along with the neighbouring Ironworks site, the power station's site is owned by Norland Construction, a crane and plant company formerly known as Reeds Cranes and Plant, who used the building as storage for their machinery.The site is thought to be contaminated with coal products, fuels and oils such as PCBs, as well as dioxins and furans.In 2003, Newcastle City Council released plans that they hoped to redevelop the site for heritage tourism in the future.
