Plans for developing almost 7,000 homes, a new school and a park in Middlesbrough are to be sent for Government approval.
The proposals, which include three new sites in Coulby Newham, Brookfield and Nunthorpe, will be submitted to the Secretary of State in the latest stage in a major review of the town’s housing needs.
In the biggest house building programme in Middlesbrough for 40 years nearly 7,000 new homes will be built in the town by 2029.
The Local Plan will be considered first at a meeting of Middlesbrough Council next Wednesday. It will then be subject to a public examination by a planning inspector with formal adoption by the council expected to take place in the autumn.
The plans are designed to create successful neighbourhoods and communities for years to come, both at existing regeneration sites including Middlehaven, Gresham and Grove Hill as well as three major new sites in the south and west of the town.
The new sites include 1,000 new homes south of Coulby Newham; 1,700 new houses, a new primary school and country park at Brookfield; and 250 homes with recreational space at land south of Guisborough Road in Nunthorpe, pictured.
Councillor Charlie Rooney, Middlesbrough Council’s executive member for regeneration and economic development, said: “It is critical to Middlesbrough’s future economic prosperity that we address the current housing balance and create communities where future generations want to live.
“This plan allows us to control and shape the developments the town undoubtedly needs, while ensuring our new neighbourhoods will be well designed and landscaped.
“Middlesbrough continues to be the economic engine room of the Tees Valley, and we must bring forward the sort of housing that reflects that over the next 15 years and beyond.”
