Newcastle United fans make 11th-hour move ahead of Strawberry Place decision

Newcastle City Council’s planning committee is due to consider the proposed Strawberry Place development today.

There were objections from fans over fears that the scheme will change the city’s iconic skyline – and stop further expansion of Newcastle United’s home.

The Newcastle United Supporters Trust have written to the council after the developer amended its plans.

They have asked that the decision be instead made in next month.
