Summary
Dacon Fabrications has applied to reclad the outside walls of its existing industrial building on Dukesway, Gateshead. A new modern entrance and canopy are also proposed. The building's size and use would not change. The site sits within an industrial estate. Seventeen other buildings are within a couple of minutes' walk, most likely other commercial or industrial units. The A1 runs a few minutes' walk away. The application appears to fall within a conservation area. A heritage assessment has not been submitted alongside the application, which the council may need to see before it can make a decision.
