Third phase of Teesside development moves a step closer
A planning application for 204 new homes at a large regeneration site on Teesside, has been submitted by Countryside Partnerships North East (CPNE) – bringing a third phase of development one step closer to fruition.
The wider Kirkleatham Green site, near Redcar, benefits from outline planning consent for the development of up to 654 dwellings and is split into three phases. CPNE is already working on phase one of the project – 375 homes for sale, shared ownership, and private and affordable rent, with P+HS as the delivery architect – and phase two – a specialist residential extra care development of 75 homes for people with a specific housing need for registered provider, Beyond Housing.
This latest application for the final phase of development would, should it be successful, see more high-quality homes of mixed tenure, designed to appeal to a range of occupants.
P+HS Architects have been working closely with CPNE on proposals for the development area for several months, providing design information in support of a successful tender submission to Homes England and subsequently, for the planning application.
The team’s approach to phase three has been based on its intricate understanding of the site and the most important aspect of the development: the people who want a choice of affordable housing in the area.
The scheme will provide a mix of two, three and four bedroomed dwellings, designed for sustainability, using a fabric first approach, and high efficiency, low emission solutions throughout. Designed around a central linear green space, which incorporates the site’s sustainable drainage strategy, the layout provides good amenity areas, connections to nature and habitats for wildlife.
If the application is successful, it is hoped that work could start as soon as October.
