Major issues waved aside by the Planning Office of South Tyneside Council.
- That the Slipway Cover is built 3m higher than planned.
- The Slipway Cover has been expanded to house a large travelling crane without planning permission. Change of use?
- UK Docks were offered another site by the Port of Tyne as their plans for the Biomass Handling Facility will landlock UK Dock’s Commercial Road Slipway.
- UK Docks have a virtual monopoly on the maintenance of Pilot Boats (and Shields Ferries for that matter) on the Tyne and the Wear.
- The Port of Tyne must have Pilots to operate properly.
- The Port of Tyne employs many people and spreads it’s largesse (used to, perhaps) in the Borough.
