Plans emerge for new housing estate on disused rail yard near Chillingham Road Metro station

Plans have emerged for a new housing estate on a disused railway yard in Heaton.

Keepmoat Homes has unveiled proposals that would see more than 140 houses built next to the railway lines approaching Chillingham Road Metro station.

The developer and Network Rail are working up plans to transform the derelict rail sidings at Heaton Down Yard and shared their vision with locals at a consultation event last week. If the project goes ahead, it could see a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom properties built on the former goods yard site next to Marleen Avenue.
