Security gates planned at pier for public safety and reduce vandalism

The existing gates on South Shields Pier will be retained and will not be removed as a result of the proposed development.

South Tyneside Council's planning department has received applications for the Grade II-listed South Pier from the Port of Tyne.

The plans are seeking permission for "the installation of a new gated access system" at the South Pier and listed building consent for the installation, described in planning documents as "proposed secondary gates".

A location plan notes the gates are being proposed halfway along the pier, while a covering letter submitted on behalf of the Port of Tyne notes the reasons for the proposed installation.
