Gateshead Council’s planning and development committee will convene next week to likely give the final approval to the erection of 37 self-catering holiday lodges on the grounds of Beamish Park Hotel on Beamish Burn Road.

Permission had been granted in principle in 2020, including the demolition of a former driving range, but now details including the design and layout of the scheme need council scrutiny.
