Amended plans for quay site put forward
The Journal
|April 18, 2025
CONTROVERSIAL plans for a major housebuilding project at the mouth of the Ouseburn appear to be firmly back on the agenda.
Developers have submitted another set of revised plans to Newcastle City Council for the heavily-debated Malmo Quay and Spillers Quay sites.
There was a public outcry in 2021 after designs for an 18-storey block of flats on the vacant Malmo plot were unveiled.
That 223ft tower proposal was shortlived, having sparked a raft of objections amid fears the "eyesore" would loom over its surroundings and block the famous view of the Newcastle Quayside from the Free Trade Inn pub, as developer PfP-igloo redrew their plans to replace it with a smaller, 10-storey version.
However, almost three years have passed since that scaled-back design was announced in August 2022 and Newcastle City Council is yet to decide whether the construction will be allowed to go ahead or not.
And it has now emerged that another updated vision for the site has been lodged with city planners.
