Work set to complete on 75 home Durham development after two years

A North East housebuilder has announced that work on a 75 home residential development is nearing completion after two years.

Bellway reported today that it has reached the final stages of construction on the 75 home development on Meadow Rise in Heighington.

The company has said that work on the County Durham site will be finished this summer, two years since it began in early 2019.

As part of the planning agreement for the development, Bellway is providing more than £300k towards local infrastructure and facilities, including £229.1k towards local education and £78.9k for enhancing walking and cycling routes.

Darren Pelusi, sales manager for Bellway Durham, commented: “Construction at Meadow Rise is progressing well ahead of completion on site this summer.

“Demand has been high for the development, which enjoys an attractive location in this picturesque village, less than three miles from Newton Aycliffe and six miles from Darlington town centre.

“The selection of three and four-bedroom detached houses at Meadow Rise will appeal to families, as well as people commuting to nearby towns, with Heighington train station less than two miles away and several well-regarded schools in the area, the closest being Heighington Primary School only a short walk from the site.”
