Plans to build a huge 12-storey tower block on Gateshead Quayside have been unveiled.
ES Gateshead Ltd has applied to Gateshead Council for permission to construct the 162 new apartments beside the River Tyne off South Shore Road.
The proposed building could be up to 12 storeys high and have a roof terrace on the fifth floor which looks onto the river. It would include an area of sedum type planting, and other ornamental planting along with a seating area.
