Controversial plans to build dozens of homes on land next to Tynemouth Metro station have been submitted.
North Tyneside Council will decide on the proposals to build a mixed-use development on land to the north and south of the station. Planning officers have recommended that councillors grant the application.
Stations Developments Ltd want permission to build 71 one-, two- and three- bedroom flats and townhouses with commercial space on the bottom floor. The application states the buildings would stand at two to six stories.
