Except the north east gets less rain than most other Test grounds in the UK. So the only thing going against it is the lack of floodlights.The issue with letting the North host Tests. I love the north of England, but the weather is crap. Lovely and sunny in Surrey.
It also always has something in it for all the bowlers. So you'll generally get great contests and a positive result.
Oh and it's most iconic feature wasn't a load of gas holders. And it's nowhere near London.
