PLANS to create the region's first five-star hotel, 250 apartments and a leisure complex in Teesside were unveiled this morning.

Proposals for the Tall Trees leisure complex in Yarm include the upgrading and expansion of the hotel facilities, "apart-hotel" accommodation and a state of the art business and conference centre.

The Club M nightclub which stands on the site will be demolished under the scheme to make way for 250 apartments. For full story see The Northern Echo tomorrow.
