A land deal has paved the way for a further 70 homes at a popular Bishop Auckland development.
The purchase of a six acre plot to the south east of Countryside Partnerships North East’s Bishops Park Development, near to Auckland Park, opens the door for a third phase of construction on a site where planning was granted back in 2011.
This final parcel of land, acquired from Durham County Council and which was once home to old railway sidings, was brokered with the support of Ward Hadaway. It is expected that work on the £15m third phase of 70 properties could commence next year.
When underway, the third phase will create four new apprenticeships and safeguard nine more, whilst also providing training and vocational skills courses and placements for local young people.
