Decided by South Tyneside Planning Committee on 9 Mar 2026.

Approved

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

  • Objectors raised access, parking, oversaturation and loss of affordable homes near a conservation area; the agent cited extra tree retention and parking.
