Banks property submits plans for Kirklevington housing development

Banks Property has submitted a planning application to Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for a new residential development in a Tees Valley village.

The housing scheme, to be based on a 5.65 hectare site to the South West of the village of Kirklevington, would boost the Stockton-on-Tees area by around 90 properties according to Banks.

A range of consultation work has been carried out across the community, with comments provided by local people, groups and businesses making up the proposal.

Chris Kelsey, communications manager at The Banks Group, said: “We’re pleased to have been able to talk to so many local people about our ideas for this development, and the feedback and ideas that we have gathered have been very useful to our design team in finalising the planning application.

“We believe we have created a well thought-out plan that would be in keeping with the local surroundings and located in an area which is wholly suitable for this sort of development, and we hope the Council’s planning committee will be minded to agree with us.

“Staying in or moving to the places in which people want to live should be an option for everyone, and increasing the supply of quality homes across our region through developments such as this will contribute to making this a realistic goal.

“Our Kirklevington scheme would be a high-quality development that would help to address this issue within the borough of Stockton, and we are looking forward to making what we believe to be a strong case for its approval.”
