The subject site is located in North Shields, North Tyneside, with easy access to local amenities, public transport, and nearby Tynemouth and Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 will also include external landscaping and car parking. The site has previously been granted planning permission for alternative developments, including two blocks of 12 apartments and nine three-story townhouses, but these permissions have since lapsed.
