The subject site is located in North Shields, North Tyneside, with excellent local amenities and public transport links to Tynemouth, Newcastle upon Tyne, and the wider region. The site has lapsed outline planning permission for a nine-unit apartment block, with each apartment accommodating three people across two bedrooms and measuring 61 square meters. The development also includes external landscaping and car parking. The site has a history of previous planning applications, including the construction of two blocks of flats and nine three-story townhouses, but these were not progressed. The current proposal seeks to bring the existing outline permission to fruition, with all reserved matters having been met except for the lead check in the land contamination report.
