Story Homes takes principal contractor role at Killingworth Gate 

The move marks the latest milestone for the 169-home development, which received full planning permission from North Tyneside Council in December 2025.

Construction is progressing, with groundworks and infrastructure works underway as Story Homes assumes responsibility for managing and coordinating the construction phase.

The development at Killingworth Moor will comprise a mix of two- to six-bedroom homes, including affordable housing, alongside green spaces, landscaping, and tree planting.

It is part of the wider Killingworth Moor Masterplan, one of two Strategic Allocations identified in North Tyneside Council’s Local Plan.

Andrew Price, operations director for Story Homes North East, said:Taking on the role of principal contractor marks an exciting next step in the delivery of Killingworth Gate. We’re proud to be leading the construction phase and look forward to bringing this new community to life.

“Having previously delivered our sold-out Backworth development nearby, we’re excited to build on that experience and create another high-quality neighbourhood in North Tyneside.”
