Proposals put forward by two long-established sports clubs to build a shared clubhouse in Ponteland have been hit with a major setback.
Ponteland United and Ponteland Rugby Club have been developing a plan to build a new community clubhouse close to the town's new leisure centre on Callerton Lane.
To do so would require the removal of 12 trees that were protected as part of the initial plans to build the school and leisure centre complex that opened in 2020.
