A controversial decision to allow a 215-home development in Wallsend has been upheld.
On January 17, North Tyneside Council green-lit plans to construct 215 Bellway Homes on land in Centurion Park, Wallsend. However, the Wallsend Boys Club urged the planning committee to reconsider its decision claiming the council’s strategy for green space and playing pitches is out of date.
A petition objecting to the proposed Bellway homes has amassed, at the time of writing, 1,590 signatures. The club, represented by chairman Steve Dale and Maria Ferguson, also reiterated concerns raised in the previous planning meeting.
