Sunderland city council has approved Gentoo’s plans for 110 new affordable homes to be built on the site of the former Fulwell Quarry.
The scheme, which has been given outline planning permission, marks the next stage of Gentoo’s regeneration in the north of the city.
A new residential community will now be created to meet the needs of a wide range of tenants and residents, with two, three and four-bedroom family homes all being built on the development, alongside both apartments and bungalows.
