A 'Gulag-style' housing development earmarked for land in Tynemouth has been criticised by councillors.
Labour and Conservative councillors in Tynemouth voiced strong objections to a council authorised housing development on vacant land surrounding Tynemouth Metro station.
North Tyneside’s planning committee met earlier this week and granted a planning application for the construction of 71 one, two, and three bedroom apartments and a 130sqm commercial space. It also allows for the partial demolition of the stone perimeter wall to Tynemouth Road.
