A major property developer has been thwarted yet again by councillors and had its modified plans to erect 57 houses in Backworth Business Park rejected.
Representatives of Northumberland Estates were hoping it could be third time lucky at North Tyneside Council's HQ in Cobalt today. However, councillors on the local authority's planning committee rejected the Northumberland Estate application for a third time.
The major cause for concern has been, and remains, the impact the prospective homes could have on the nearby Keenan Processing Ltd facility. The factory operates from 4am and continues throughout the morning, or even earlier during busy seasons like Christmas.
