Fresh plans to turn an historic Newcastle property into an 'aparthotel' and restaurant have been put forward.
Panther Properties Plc hopes to turn 36-40 Clayton Street, in the city centre, into 13 serviced apartments on upper floors with a café/restaurant at street level. Plans have been to submitted to Newcastle City Council for the building, which has been vacant for five years following its use as a homeware shop.
A decision is expected in the coming months, for what the firm says is a much needed regeneration project that will retain the historic fabric of the Grade II listed property. It follows an unsuccessful application in 2018 to turn the site into a music venue and bar.
