Whitburn next up for Story Homes
Story Homes has submitted a full planning application to South Tyneside Council for a residential development on land off Mill Lane.
Pending planning permission, there will be 205 homes ranging from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom family homes. There will be 40% delivered as affordable housing in line with local policy.
Amanda Stephenson, head of land for Story Homes North East, said: “Whitburn is a thriving area with strong community spirit, and we’re excited to bring forward these proposals.
“Our goal is to create a development that not only provides a variety of homes for people at all stages of life, but also enhances the local environment, with generous green spaces, an improved play area, and a sustainable drainage strategy. We look forward to working closely with South Tyneside Council and the local community as the application progresses.”
The development will be supported by a Section 106 Agreement*. Contributions could include investment in local education, healthcare, transport, and public open space. Proposals include enhanced outdoor areas, a new children’s play area, and a comprehensive SuDS strategy to manage surface water sustainably.
