A deal to build more than 200 homes on the site of South Tyneside College has fallen through, college bosses have confirmed.
Housing developer Bellway Homes (North East) had previously agreed to buy the site of the college's Westoe Campus in South Shields in order to build 220 new homes.
Proposal documents issued by Bellway Homes to residents as part of a consultation last year said the firm's development would "deliver 220 new homes on the site, providing high-quality living space with attractive landscaping for future residents."
