Avant Homes submits detailed plans for 200 Thornaby homes
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 4 Nov, 06:32 · Archive
Avant Homes has applied for planning permission to build up to 200 homes on fields near Low Lane and Thornaby Road in Thornaby. The application follows Stockton Council's failure to defend an appeal against an earlier outline proposal, which a planning inspector allowed in April last year. The revised plans no longer include a primary school, neighbourhood centre or extension to Maltby Cricket Club, though the developer's statement indicated these could potentially progress separately.
The development will comprise one to four-bedroom properties including bungalows, semi-detached and detached houses, with one to three parking spaces each. It includes 40 affordable homes—properties for sale or rent at discounted rates for people not served by the private market. Access will be via a new signalised junction from Low Lane, with spine roads, landscaping and tree-lined streets across the site.
The developer's statement emphasises that existing trees and hedges will be retained where possible, and that the scheme will protect and enhance wildlife habitats whilst creating green connections and infrastructure. Stockton Council previously stated there was no longer a need for a new school owing to demographic changes in the nearby area of Ingleby Barwick. A financial contribution to education will be required as part of the development.
