Northumberland to receive £1m boost from homebuilder

Newcastle-based homebuilder Bellway is set to invest than £1m into the Northumberland community as part of a Morpeth development.

The housing developer plans to contribute £585k for affordable homes with a further £594k to be invested in local schools.

The investment was part of a deal with Northumberland County Council, which granted planning permission for the Taylors Wynd development, situated on the site of a former council office and education complex at Hepscott Park, south of Morpeth.

Taylors Wynd, which will be comprised of four-bedroom detached homes, aims to provide rural family housing within reach of major roads for travel to nearby towns and cities.

Tracey Brady, managing director for Bellway North East, said: “A lovely new community is already forming at Taylors Wynd.

“We’re delighted that we’re able to give back and enhance the local area further with investment.

“Our contribution to off-site affordable homes will help local people buy a home in Northumberland while our investment in education will be a great financial boost for local schools.”
