The structure would also enable wildlife experts to monitor the birds.

Sand martins are so named because they nest in sandy river banks or sandy coastal cliffs.
Comments can be made on the plans until February 17, by visiting www.southtyneside,gov.uk and searching for application ‘ST/0072/17/FUL’.
A decision will be made in due course.
