Councillors have unanimously approved the construction of 115 new homes in Wallsend despite police concerns.
The approved houses will form phase two of an ongoing project on land west of the A186 and south of the A191. The project aims to deliver a total of 418 residential dwellings to Wallsend. Persimmons Home North East were originally given permission to develop the site back in 2018.
Northumbria Police raised concerns over the layout of car parking in the designs of the site, as the proposed walls and fencing would render residents' cars out of sight and vulnerable to theft.
