Proposals for new apartments in Sunderland city centre have been submitted to city development chiefs. Earlier in July, 2022, Sunderland City Council’s planning department validated an application for 60 Fawcett Street.
This included converting the floors above the ‘Upmarket’ retail store to four apartments, as well as a roof dormer extension and associated external alterations. The proposed accommodation would be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with internal bin storage provided at ground floor level.
Planning, design and access and heritage statements submitted with the application also provide more information on the scheme. Proposed alterations to the front of the building would see the replacement of windows with double glazed units and repainting of the building facade.
