If your South Shields property is near the Marine Parks or Bents Park, show how the proposed work relates to the street and surrounding open space. A wider photograph can explain an outside alteration more clearly than a close-up of a window, wall or roof alone.

The council identifies these parks in the historic parks register. That does not mean every neighbouring house has the same status or requirements: checks should concern your address and what you intend to change.

For a repair, describe the fault and any previous attempts to fix it. For a visible alteration, include the present appearance and the result you want. Explain where materials could be delivered and whether any access would extend beyond your own land before assuming that space is available.
