AFTER consultations with local residents, finalised plans for a development of around 400 homes near Ponteland have been submitted for consideration.

The development of family homes, known as West Clickemin Farm, is proposed to be built on a 21-hectare site to the south-east of Ponteland town centre, west of the A696 and north of the B6545.

Last month, Banks Property displayed its plans for the scheme at various locations around Ponteland, and gathered feedback from local residents.

And now the updated plans have been submitted to Northumberland County Council’s planning committee for consideration.

Michael Shuttleworth, managing director at Banks Property, said: “Over the last few months, we have been working towards finalising the design for our West Clickemin Farm development, and we are pleased to have now reached this important landmark.

“The feedback we received from visitors to our recent displays in the town has been very useful, and we were pleased with the numbers who expressed their support for the project, especially from some of the residents who live close to the proposed site.

“Staying in or moving to the places in which people want to live should be an option for everyone, and increasing the supply of quality homes across our region through developments such as this will contribute to making this a realistic goal.”
