The high-profile housebuilder’s Sheepfolds development in Sunderland will create 350 homes, using £27.7m from Homes England, and £10m from the North East Mayor Kim McGuinness. Place North East sat down with Vistry’s regional MD to talk markets, viability and city centre revival.

The Consett-based housebuilder has submitted a detailed planning application to North Tyneside Council to develop 46 houses on disused land next to the Metro station.

Laura Shoaf, a former chief executive of West Midlands Combined Authority and board member of Transport for London, will lead an inspection into the workings of Tees Valley Combined Authority.
