Avant Homes gets green light for £47.7m Killingworth development

Local housebuilder Avant Homes has been able to go ahead on a new £47.4m development after planning permission was granted by North Tyneside Council.

Located off the A1056 in Killingworth, the 20.86-acre development will feature 200 homes across Avant Homes’ design-led two, three, four and five-bedroom housetypes.

There will be 14 housetypes to choose from and 38 ‘affordable’ homes will also be included across the development.

Work on the development - named Cygnet Park - is set to commence immediately with the showhomes expected to open in March 2020. The first homes are due to be ready for occupation at this time, too.

The overall build is expected to take five years and will create approximately 100 sales and construction jobs.

“We’re always actively seeking development site opportunities in the region, which are ideally suited for a wide range of buyers.

“Cygnet Park will feature our very latest house designs and specification, which feature everything buyers have come to expect from Avant, and more. We look forward to launching the development and opening our showhomes.”

Killingworth’s Cygnet Park is one of 11 developments currently under construction by Avant Homes North East delivering more than 2,000 new homes for the region.
