Hartlepool-based Cecil M Yuill Ltd, has applied for outline planning permission for the construction of 475 high quality new homes to the west of Hartlepool
The proposed development is on land directly
adjacent to Phase 2 and north of the land at High
Tunstall granted outline consent in 2018 and
will form the third phase of its highly popular
Quarry Farm development. This has already
seen 81 new homes built and sold on Phase 1 by
Bellway Homes with Barratt David Wilson Homes
commencing the construction of a further 220
homes at their Elwick Gardens development as
part of Phase 2.
As with both our Phases 1 and 2, crucial to the
proposed development is the landscape-led design
approach which will see not only the preservation
of the Naisberry Quarry Local Wildlife Site, but the
creation of a new, north-south linear green running
right through the site to link Elwick Road to the
south with Worset Lane to the north and an eastwest greenspace across the site. Extensive footpaths
and cycle links will follow building lines rather than
the roads, providing alternative access to the new
street plan to different areas of the development,
whilst the surrounding rural landscape will be echoed
by new tree planning throughout the development.”
Edward Yuill, Managing Director of Cecil M Yuill Ltd,
commented, “We’re delighted to be submitting an
outline application, following public consultation,
for this third phase of development at Quarry Farm.
We have always had very keen interest from major
housebuilder in our land at Quarry Farm who see it as
an opportunity to create a high quality development
attractive to the market.”
“Equally important to me, as someone who is
extremely proud of my family’s long history in
Hartlepool, is to ensure that the town as a whole
reaps the benefit of the development. As with
Phases 1 and 2, we will always strive to honour the
obligations required by adopted planning policy.
With Phase 2, aside from the financial benefits to be
accrued through Council tax and the £2.64 million
towards the construction of the grade separated
junction and Elwick bypass, an additional £741,000
is to be provided towards the build of sports pitches,
education, ecology and the provision of much
needed on-site affordable housing.”
“We are very proud of our record of delivering
housing for the town of Hartlepool and, in accordance
with the local plan and financial policies within and
subject to planning, we hope this will continue
with serious developer interest already in Phase 3.
This development will enable us to continue to be
part of the regeneration of Hartlepool by providing
high quality private homes and affordable housing
that meet the aspirations of local people and help
to retain the highly skilled population who may be
tempted to move away should such new homes not
become available close to the centre of Hartlepool.’
The outline planning application for the scheme
was submitted to Hartlepool Borough Council on
23rd October and will be open to public view and
comment following the application’s validation by
officers.
