Summary
A homeowner has applied to build a single-storey garage with a pitched roof and double doors to the side of their home at Rose Cottage. The garage would be a new structure, added alongside the existing house. The site is in the green belt, where rules about new buildings are strict. South Lodge, a Grade II listed building, is right next door — just one metre away. Arch and Walls Adjoining South Lodge, another Grade II listed structure, is also right next door at about fourteen metres. Ancient woodland at Hill Head Wood is within a couple of minutes' walk. Two documents that councils usually need when a site is close to listed buildings — a Heritage Impact Assessment and a Heritage Statement — have not been submitted. Gateshead Council may ask for these before it can make a decision.
