Councillors
Peter Maughan and Kevin McClurey outside the derelict Dunston Hill School. They
have called for the old buildings to be demolished as part of planning
permission for the site.
The long awaited plans for housing on the derelict Dunston Hill Primary School site have now been submitted to Gateshead Council. They include proposals for 26 new houses and part of the site, where the main school buildings currently stand, will be allocated for the FACT cancer care centre.
The application itself will only consider the new houses. A further application will be required for the cancer facility.
The application has been welcomed by Lib Dem Councillors Kevin McClurey and Peter Maughan who have campaigned to have the decade long derelict site used for housing.
"Our chief concern is that as the house building will be on the part of the site that is not currently occupied by the main school building, full demolition before any other work takes place should be a condition for receiving planning permission," said Kevin.
