I'd assume GNE would suffer the same refusal if they applied
I don't think Lord Lawson School would have any affect on a New Depot on Birtley Lane as the School is situated 2 Minutes away from Birtley High Street in the Centre of Birtley, As for Eddie Stobart if all they were going use the site for was for layovers, then I can see why it got knocked back, when you have Washington Services just across the other side of the A1. I can't really see a Problem in GNE using this Plot of Land for a Potential Depot.
