Gateshead council has received a planning application for several temporary shipping containers in an “informal car park” adjacent the Dunston Excelsior Club, near the Dunston Staiths.
The shipping containers will remain at the site, if the application is approved, for three years and will offer office, retail, and storage space as well as toilet facilities. The applicant, Tyne and Wear Preservation Trust put the application forward with EDable Architecture.
The proposed benefits of the application include supporting the local economy and regeneration. The commercial aspect of the proposal will fund the Straits Restoration Project.
