A Durham office building will be demolished and replaced despite objections the new taller block would “tower above” residents.
The plan sparked varying opinions, from a councillor saying it was “what we’ve been crying out for” to objectors saying it was “inappropriate”, “overbearing” and “excessively large”.
The Hanro Group applied for planning permission to demolish the former Mainstreet USA offices at St Cuthberts House, Diamond Terrace in Durham.
