A "concrete jungle" in Wallsend has been approved by North Tyneside Councillors.
North Tyneside Council's planning meeting met on Tuesday to decide on the expansion of a Persimmon housing development on land west of Mackley Court, Wallsend. Persimmon was granted permission to construct a three-storey block of 13 flats on the site.
However, the proposal drew the ire of one particular councillor, who voiced concerns about the increasing use of land for housing across the borough.
