In 2005, TFP submitted a series of Masterplans for the city of Newcastle, connecting a series of quarters with a 'Geordie Ramblas,' a pedestrian route connecting Exhibition Park, Newcastle University, Newcastle City Centre and the East Quayside. As part of this design TFP were appointed to develop the Ouseburn Gateway Housing scheme on Newcastle's East Quayside. The brief was set out by Newcastle City Council, which delineated the proposals for the regeneration of the Ouseburn Gateway site to be a mixed-use scheme, combining residential and commercial components. With George Wimpey, Terry Farrell and Partners were recruited in to design a 32 storey tower block which was widely criticised. The plan was revised to incorporate a reduced scale tower block of 12 storeys known as the Northern Light which was also subject to criticism. Following a public enquiry into the criticisms of this proposed development, which focused on the existing water pumping station on the site, and traffic access difficulties, the planning submissions were withdrawn.

Project codes within correspondence and plans for this series of projects are: NH3, NH5.
