Persimmon secures Hartlepool go-ahead
Councillors have given reserved matters approval for 316 homes on land between the A689 and Brierton Lane.
Twenty six of the homes will be transferred to a housing association or sold at a set percentage of market value.
The homes will form phase one of the wider Hartlepool South West Extension, which received planning approval on a hybrid application for 1,260 new homes earlier this year.
Persimmon will provide upward of £3m in Section 106 contributions, including around £2.4m to local primary education and £400,000 toward highways infrastructure.
New pedestrian and cycle links will be provided, and all homes will come equipped with EV charging points and PV panels.
Richard Holland, land and planning director at Persimmon Teesside, said: “We are pleased that Hartlepool Council has approved these plans for 316 much-needed high quality homes.
“This development will provide a range of energy efficient homes suitable for first-time buyers, families and downsizers alike at prices people can afford.
“We look forward to starting construction on the site that with its extensive transport links and excellent local amenities, we’re sure will prove extremally popular with local homebuyers.”
