The public has been urged to have a say on major construction plans for another 1,600 homes that could be built on the outskirts of Newcastle.
Developers have confirmed their intention to press ahead with the next stage of controversial building works around Callerton, which were a source of widespread anger when large areas of land were taken out of the green belt to make way for around 3,000 new houses by 2030.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service revealed last year that housebuilders were preparing an application for up to 1,600 homes on the as yet undeveloped ‘Upper Callerton’ portion of land, near Westerhope, 400 more than was originally planned for the site.
