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. According to the firm’s website it is “looking to progress with an alternative layout, with the main changes being alternative access arrangements off Kibblesworth Bank and an increase in new homes”.
Back in 2018 councillors were recommended to grant permission despite numerous objections.
