Revised plans for a £330m development on Gateshead’s Quayside have been revealed as part of a public consultation.
Updated proposals by developers Ask:Patrizia have been outlined in the consultation, launched yesterday, showing a 12,500 capacity indoor events arena, conference and exhibition centre, and a new park located on a 4.6 hectare site on land at Gateshead Quays. The previously approved hotel element of the Gateshead Quays development is set to be moved to a new site on the corner of Quarryfield Road and Hawks Road and is subject to a separate planning application.
The fresh plans follow changes in operational and construction requirements and includes the new park, running from north to south along the eastern boundary of the application site. The park is expected to serve up a pedestrian link between the Quayside promenade and the Baltic Business Quarter, connecting the Gateshead Quays development with the planned hotel.
