Planning committee

Decided by South Tyneside Planning Committee on 25 Aug 2026.

Approved

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

  • Permission was sought to build a detached two-storey house with a new vehicle access and a boundary amendment with the neighbour to the north.
  • Two neighbours and a councillor objected over design, overlooking, tree and hedgerow loss and a lack of need for four-bed homes in the village.
  • The officer found the separation distances to neighbours acceptable, and the application was approved subject to conditions, including that the house be self-build.
