PROJECT OVERVIEW

The planning application gained consent for a Private Rented Scheme encouraging residents to rent in the building on a long-term basis. The proposal provides 280 residential apartments and accompanying commercial floor space.

The scheme had to consider a number of issues including the adjacent cement works, a listed Police Station, access to another site and the height, scale and massing of the proposed building given key views across the Tyne Gorge. Site topography further complicated the design. The development was a JV by Panacea Property Developments with Storm’s partner Zerum providing Project Management Services.
