Historic buildings in the heart of South Shields are set to be transformed into apartments after proposals were approved by planning bosses. South Tyneside Council’s planning department recently registered an application for 1, 3 and 3a Beach Road in the town.
The Grade II-listed properties occupy an end of terrace location close to the junction of Beach Road and Fowler Street. According to planning documents, the vacant properties were previously used as business offices, with the coach house to the rear of number 3 having previously been used as a taxi booking office.
New plans aimed to change the use of the properties to six self-contained residential dwellings. This included four apartments at 1 Beach Road, comprising two two-bedroom apartments, one three-bedroom apartment and one one-bedroom apartment.
