Bellway relooks at 170-home development on outskirts of Hartlepool
Updated plans have been lodged seeking to provide more family properties at the expense of larger homes on a development on the outskirts of Hartlepool.
Proposals have been submitted to Hartlepool Borough Council for land north of the A689 as part of the continued expansion of the Wynyard Park estate.
The latest “reserved matters” application by Bellway Homes Limited seeks to deliver 179 homes on a seven hectare area of undeveloped arable land.
It currently has permission for 170 homes, but Bellway says it has undertaken a “re-plan of the development” and now intends to reduce the number of larger five-bed properties for more in-demand smaller family homes.
The latest scheme provides more three-bed properties and provides 32 affordable homes, one more than previously.
The development would include 22 two-bed properties, including at least four bungalows, 74 three-bed homes, 75 four-bed and eight five-bed.
The plans form part of a wider 44-hectare site previously granted outline planning permission for up to 1,200 homes.
