Gateshead councillors will decide whether to develop the site of the iconic former Odeon cinema.
The applicant, Mr Joshy Mani, has proposed the construction of 109 residential apartments on the site, located on High Street. The cinema was originally demolished in 2003 and the site has been left undeveloped, despite numerous plans, ever since.
The proposal details the provision of 34 one bedroom apartments, 53 two bedroom apartments, and 22 three bedroom apartments, spread over two to nine stories. The flats would have access to communal facilities like a gym and communal lounge, and car parking space.
