Go-ahead for 350 Tudhoe homes
After submitting plans in August, Banks has been given approval by Durham Council for the development on 37 acres off York Hill Road to the south of the city.
Designed by QAD Architects, the housing mix will include 15% affordable homes and a range of house types including bungalows, as well as a small convenience store on the estate.
The North East developer is going to make a range of contracts available to local suppliers for different aspects of the scheme, which Banks expects to start on site next year.
Kate Culverhouse, community relations manager at The Banks Group, says: “This development will include a range of modern, energy efficient and sustainable house types, including bungalows, and will benefit from excellent access to the surrounding transport network, making both Durham City and Spennymoor easily accessible.
“We were very encouraged by the positive responses we had from many of the visitors to our Tudhoe community consultation events last year and excited by the opportunity we will now have to increase our long-term investment in our home county.
“We will now move forward with delivering on our plans and will ensure to keep local communities informed about the progress we make in the coming months.”
