Gateshead council's planning committee has approved the construction of a new apartment complex in Low Fell.
Adderstone Developments Limited has successfully requested permission to construct a complex consisting of 16 two-bedroom dwellings, with ancillary parking on the site of the former Joicey Road School.
The complex has proved historically controversial. The planning application generated 67 objections in its original form back in 2020 on the council's website with only two in support.
