00:00Newcastle City Council has been asked to grant planning permission for the former Arriva bus depot in Jesmond, now operating
00:08as a 68-space car park.
00:11The 68-space site on Portland Terrace, charging £4.75 per day, sits off Jesmond Road and serves as a
00:18car park on the urban core border, easing city traffic.
00:23The planning application argues the car park provides a sustainable option for commuters, reducing congestion on Jesmond Road and supporting
00:31bus and metro services.
00:35The council must decide on the retrospective permission while the depot remains a car park until June 2027 and its
00:42redevelopment plan stays on hold.
