Need for Development

Nationally, the country is facing a housing crisis with decades of insufficient house building affecting affordability and the ability of people to find a suitable home in which to live. It also has had a knock-on effect in terms of preventing investment in other areas of the economy.

This also applies locally with recent revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework requiring Stockton Borough Council to significantly boost the supply of new homes to meet current and future housing needs in the Borough.

Barratt David Wilson Homes consider the Site to offer a suitable opportunity to assist in the delivery of these targets in a sustainable manner.

The Proposals

The scheme proposes a variety of new homes presented in a legible and coherent layout which sensitively integrates into the surrounding area. The key elements of the proposed development include:

Approximately 200 new family homes.
Provision of accessible and adaptable housing.
Inclusion of 1-2 bed bungalows.
20% affordable housing - this will be a mix of housing for rent through a Registered Provider and for purchase at a discount to the open market value.
On-site play area.
Circa £470,000 in additional Council Tax receipts per annum.
10% improvement on the existing biodiversity value of the site.

It is important to note the proposal are still in progress, and the final layout and proposals will be informed by the feedback provided by this consultation exercise.

Illustrative Site Layout

Design

The proposals for the site south of Low Lane will provide a high-quality, low to mid density scheme of around 200 dwellings within a sustainable location, with enhanced connections to existing facilities and services within the area. A key driver of the design is to promote existing landscape features such as the central hedgerow which is maintained as a green corridor. Along the site perimeter the development edges are well set back from the site boundary allowing for additional buffer planting that will help visually contain the site. To the north a generous public open space is allowed for, that will provide opportunities for play and informal recreation, while also accommodating drainage features in the north-western corner.

The development is divided into two smaller parcels, with the western half being of an executive nature accommodating mainly 4 and 5 bed homes with mostly detached garages, while the eastern half is of mid density, offering a broader range of dwelling sizes.

The site is served by a newly formed signalised junction, located centrally along the site frontage and a series of crossings to help establish safe connections between the site and its surrounding infrastructure.
