Developers have been granted planning permission to build a new hotel together with student accommodation and retail outlets in the centre of Newcastle on Tyne.
The existing Newgate Shopping Centre will be demolished to make way for the 270-bedroom hotel.
Newgate Shopping Centre, which runs between Grainger Street, Clayton Street and Falconer’s Court in central Newcastle opened in 1969 but the majority of the units are now vacant.
