Stonebridge plots 245-home Wynyard Park extension
Alongside Hedley Planning, the developer has submitted plans for a 37-acre estate in Stockton-on-Tees, expanding the garden village.
The three-, four-, and five-bed homes will include 122 with enhanced accessibility and 20 designed for wheelchair users.
In terms of sustainability efforts, each house will have solar panels and an EV charger.
The scheme is expected to be considered by Stockton’s planning committee this summer and if it gets the green light, building work will follow shortly after with the first phase of homes available next year.
Existing woodland to the north will be retained and added to, with additional tree and shrubbery planting, alongside a landscaping scheme that will see new housing integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Access to the site is proposed via Bloomfield Drive to the south, which branches from the Hanzard Drive roundabout with the A689/Hartlepool Road.
The project comes as the Government continues to push for the delivery of new homes to meet the chronic housing shortage in the North of England.
Hedley Planning director Alex Franklin, who is overseeing the planning application, said: “This submission is welcome news and the latest step in the ongoing Wynyard Park success story.
“If plans are approved, the project will deliver a high-quality residential development to live in, incorporating a strong landscaping strategy, sustainable access, and a significant boost to the borough’s housing supply.”
Chris Musgrave, chief executive of Wynyard Park, said: “This latest proposal is part of the continued development of high-quality homes and facilities at Wynyard Park.
“It will support job creation, the local supply chain and deliver a development that people can be proud of. This is a great step for Wynyard Park and I’m looking forward to seeing it come to fruition.”
