Developer seeks to expand proposed Kibblseworth housing project to 270 properties

A property developer has submitted an application to construct 270 new homes in KIbblesworth, Lamsely, expanding on a previous application. The project, if approved, would see West Farm demolished and land to the north and south of Kibblesworth Bank.

Taylor Wimpey has applied to Gateshead council to amend a previous 2018 plan for 225 homes on the site.

Back in 2018 councillors were recommended to grant permission despite numerous objections.
