The proposal seeks the delivery of 71 high quality homes, including the provision of 10% affordable homes to complete the approved total of 480 homes on Regents Park. A mix of house types will be provided which include a range of 2, 3 and 4-bed homes, including 10 bungalows, along with open space, play areas and landscaping.

 

Landscaping and open space will form an integral part of this proposal. This will include the integration of the existing coast to coast (C2C) pedestrian/cycle route and inclusion of trim trail play areas. The existing informal route which follows the boundary of the proposed development will also be enhanced, forming an extension to the C2C, which will oversee the Derwent Valley.

 

The proposed site access will be located off an existing spur on Abbotts Way, which connects to Monarch Road and Genesis Way, providing wider connections to the A691, A692 and to Newcastle, Gateshead and Durham.
