Plans have been lodged for an “exceptional” new housing estate in Newcastle’s West End.
Developers have submitted proposals for 146 homes in “modern and sustainable” terraces in Benwell. Build-to-rent (BTR) provider Placefirst’s plans for the ‘Benwell Dene’ development were sent to Newcastle City Council last week and, if given permission, construction could start later this year.
It would see a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom homes built on a vacant patch of brownfield land between Delaval Road and the Allan Court care home. The houses would be made available for long-term rent, while Placefirst has also promised “unique communal spaces which maximise views across the Tyne Valley” from the sloping plot.
