Planning committee

Decided by Gateshead Planning and Development Committee on 25 Feb 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the raised roof was visually intrusive and harmed the garage block’s character and residents’ outlook.
  • The committee refused permission for design and visual amenity reasons concerning the roof height, street scene and residential outlook.
