APPROVAL was yesterday granted for a Quayside development of 81 flats, a five-floor, 234-space multi-storey car park, restaurants and offices.
Members of Newcastle City Council's development services committee voted 7-4 in favour of the scheme, on a site off City Road, at the east Quayside, despite objections from residents who said the nearby St Anne's Church would be dwarfed by the project.
