About the Local Plan

The Council is committed to making sure South Tyneside's heritage assets will continue to be preserved and enhanced.

In preparing for the draft Local Plan, Heritage Impact Assessments have been carried out to look at any potential impact on the borough's much valued heritage assets.

These assessments have informed policies within the draft Local Plan. 

The Council is confident that the proposed level of growth can be accommodated without negatively impacting on the borough's heritage assets.
