Greg Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It was rejected? Sorry - didn't even read the article as busy - I had wrongly presumed it was about Hadrian's Tower. Good spot -I'll review the Inspectors report and flag to NUST legal advisors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It's not a precedent but it gives hope that the City Council are serious about protecting the views, in line with their policies. So too the Planning Inspectorate (who comes in for a final say if a proposal gets refused and the applicant appeals). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hugely controversial plans to redevelop land around St James’ Park are expected to go ahead. Despite a huge backlash from Newcastle United fans, city planning chiefs now look set to give their backing to a vision for new flats, offices, and a hotel in Strawberry Place. Toon supporters and city MP Chi Onwurah have complained that the £120m project would block views of the iconic stadium and prevent it from being expanded. But, ahead of a Newcastle City Council planning hearing next week, a new report reveals that local authority officers are recommending the scheme for approval. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/strawberry-place-plans-council-approval-17179890 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It was always going to go ahead, I was talking to one of the commercial real estate bods at work the other week, she'd called it and said the council want the buildings to go up so they can generate tax from them.

Yorkie Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It'll still go to a committee so even if the officers recommend approval, councillors might still move for refusal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 If more so-called fans took up arms you know, when Ashley first relegated the club, to help drive the cunt out, this wouldn’t even be an issue. The local council are fucking brain dead mind, they haven’t a clue how to run the city centre in terms of planning, remodelling, infrastructure, regeneration etc. that actually benefits the actual local area and local people the most in terms of long term interests environmentally, economically, socially and jobs wise . I guarantee whatever goes up, will end up a dead duck, half empty, or converted into student accommodation in time. I also guarantee the structures will look cheap and nasty, just like the stadium behind it nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 How is the public benefiting from flats being built? They're not "affordable housing" and just like Hadrian's Tower, the majority of the buyers won't be from the area, and they'll be bought to add to their portfolios.

NG32 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I'm not sure how these will benefit the city other than the council raking in extra business rates etc. The buildings in those images don't particularly look eye catching. Hastily erected Ashley tat towers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Is Ashley building these, or is he selling to somebody else? One things for sure, Ashley should not be anywhere near building tower blocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hastily erected Ashley tat towers. Jobs, taxes, etc. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were low rise buildings rather than shite idenikit high rises, something the club could have done itself without selling the land anyway. It’s the sale of the land that was the big joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
