It has stood unfinished for almost two decades due to a long running saga which halted its development.
But completion on this renowned property, which was first granted planning permission by Gateshead Council in 1998, could finally be reached within two years following confirmation of a modification order detailing a number of changes which must be made to the property.
Work on the large three-storey located on Swalwell Bank, in Whickham, has been paused since April 7, 2005, after the council ordered developments to stop after visiting the site following complaints from local residents.
