A pub boss has been left overwhelmed by the “incredible” scale of objections to widely-denounced plans for a massive tower block at the mouth of the Ouseburn.
City planners have revealed the size of the public backlash to developer PfP-igloo’s designs for an 18-storey apartment complex on the Newcastle riverside.
The huge tower proposed for the vacant Malmo Quay site has been likened to a cheese grater and a “Soviet” structure, while major concerns have also been raised over aspects of the development that would see more houses built on neighbouring Spillers Quay and the popular Cycle Hub demolished.
