Gateshead town centre decision Friday

A LANDMARK meeting will be held at Gateshead Council on Friday to consider Spenhill Development’s application for a major new shopping development in Gateshead’s town centre.

The application,made by Tesco’s development arm Spenhill Developments, seeks planning permission to create a mixed use development including a Tesco supermarket.

45 other commercial or retail units will be developled along with an underground car park and student accommodation for more than 900 students.

The development site includes the area formerly occupied by Gateshead’s 1960’s-built Trinity Square Shopping Centre and multi-storey car park, which were both demolished this year, as well as the existing Tesco store and car park.

Members of the Planning and Development Committee will meet in The Bridges Room at Gateshead Civic Centre at 10.00am to consider the application.
