Derelict former industrial buildings near Gateshead’s quayside are set to be bulldozed to make way for a major apartment development after fresh plans were given the go-ahead.
Bellway Homes will replace the buildings at the South of Fletcher Road near the existing Ochre Yards development with 98 one- and two-bedroom apartments.
A design and access statement lodged with the council said that the project would bring the derelict site back into use with a “high quality scheme”.
