Planning committee

Decided by South Tyneside Planning Committee on 26 May 2026.

Refused unanimously

No officer report was published for this decision; this summary is from the committee minutes.

  • Permission was sought to change the dwelling into a five-person house in multiple occupation.
  • Two councillors objected on grounds of overconcentration, residential amenity and highway issues, and a member raised the proximity of elderly residents nearby.
  • Members voted unanimously to refuse, citing harm to the area's character and amenity given nearby vulnerable elderly residents.
