A&A PROPERTIES
NEW RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS, ST LAWRENCE ROAD, NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A new £9m apartment complex overlooking the River Tyne near Ouseburn is set to go ahead following unanimous planning approval, secured by Hedley Planning Services.
A six-storey residential scheme by developer A&A Properties will now be built on derelict land off St Lawrence Road close to the confluence of the Tyne and Ouseburn rivers and to the east of the Free Trade Inn. This will see a mix of 50 one, two, three and four bedroomed apartments created as part of ‘exciting’ plans that also include onsite undercroft car parking, cycle parking, new access infrastructure and attractive landscaping.
The investment provides local homeowners with increased housing choice, particularly for first-time buyers and families – they will be able to take advantage of easily accessible and quality accommodation, which will be within easy walking distance of local shops and amenities.
Upwards of 155 construction jobs will be created when onsite work starts later this summer, while the local economy will benefit from additional revenue as homeowners start to move in from early 2023 onwards and spend locally.
