Our proposals
The Kingston Village proposal, which is in the west of Newcastle, was allocated in the Newcastle Gateshead One Core Strategy, as a suitable location for housing.
Our vision for the site is to create a sustainable, high quality community that provides a range of much needed homes; green space for local people and local wildlife; and facilities including shops and a school. The site will deliver a mix of house types, sizes and tenures to meet the needs of local families in Newcastle and provide significant social, environmental and economic benefits for both new and existing residents.
A planning application was submitted to Newcastle City Council for 900 homes in April 2019 and the application was granted in February 2023.
