Story Homes grows North East developments with new major builds

Plans to develop housing sites in North Tyneside and County Durham have been given approval, as Northern house builder Story Homes is continuing to grow its operations throughout the North East.

Opening a permanent base in the region last year, the business will begin work across three major sites including Rake Lane, Backworth and Wynyard. Having already completed work at The Woodlands at Shotley Bridge and in Kingsbrook Wood, Middlesbrough, Story is keen to further extend its North East developments.

The housebuilder has worked with Northumberland Estates on the Backworth development, named Brierdene, which will see 180 two, three, four and five bedroom high-quality family homes built, including an element of properties designated as affordable for local people.

The Rake Lane development, named Dove Park, will include a stylish mix of 61 two, three and four bedroom homes with nine different house types.

The Wynyard development, Fallows Park, is for 120 homes in the County Durham estate.

All three sites will bring significant benefits to the local economy through direct and indirect job opportunities, payments to the local authority and orders placed through the local supply chain - Story Homes uses local labour and materials wherever possible.

Story Homes Chief Executive Steve Errington said: “We’re delighted that our plans for Backworth, Rake Lane and Wynyard have been given approval.

“We believe these developments will be genuine assets to the area and we have already had keen interest from potential buyers.

“Story Homes is looking forward to delivering a wide range of distinctive, high-quality homes on developments that will have a real community feel and provide life-long homes for people.

“These developments are part of a much-wider commitment to the North East which involves job creation and economic benefits, both directly and through our supply network, and the provision of quality homes to people in the region.”
