The comprehensive redevelopment of Great North Leisure Park was proposed to include 20 buildings, the tallest of which would reach 25 storeys tall, as well as incorporating a new leisure centre. The proposal, put forward by Regal London, designated 25% of the new homes as affordable by total habitable rooms, equating to 341 homes. However, a petition this summer calling for a halt to the development received nearly 8,000 signatures.
