Plans for Tudhoe housing scheme unveiled

A property developer is set to bring forward plans for a major new housing scheme on the edge of Durham City.

Banks Property has revealed proposals for a 350-home residential development off York Hill Road, in Tudhoe, featuring a mix of energy-efficient homes, including bungalows, with 15 per cent classed as affordable. 

The development would also see all homes fitted with electric vehicle charging points and is designed to deliver at least a ten per cent biodiversity net gain. 

Banks Property will host two appointment-only community consultation events in May, ahead of submitting a planning application to Durham County Council later this year.

Kate Culverhouse, community relations manager at The Banks Group, said: “There’s a real need for more high-quality housing sites within reach of Durham City, but there are only a limited number of locations in which they might be found, and our site at Tudhoe, which sits outside the designated green belt, represents one such ideal location.

“We are confident that there would be significant demand for property on this development and want to further increase the long-term investment we’re making in our home county.  

“This development would deliver a wide range of economic, employment, environmental, supply chain and social benefits to both the local community and wider Durham City region, and we’re excited to share full details of how we’re looking to achieve these ambitions at our forthcoming community events.”
