A YMCA in North Shields has applied to North Tyneside Council to expand its residential facilities.
The registered charity wishes to absorb the former Featonby's auction house, located at 50-50a Bedford Street, and convert the first floor of the building into three three-bedroom flats. It also intends for the ground floor to be altered into a retail and community space along with a café.
The apartments would also contain en suits, living rooms, and kitchen facilities. A common room has also been applied for.
