Killingworth Moor South Phase 1
Bellway and Banks Property submitted a planning application for 565 homes in Killingworth in October 2020. Killingworth Moor South is part of the Killingworth Moor Masterplan, which looks to bring forward much needed homes in North Tyneside.
Killingworth Moor was allocated in the 2015 Draft North Tyneside Local Plan Consultation as a key strategic site to contribute towards the borough’s objectively assessed needs for housing provision that will deliver approximately 2,000 new homes and approximately 17 hectares (c42 acres) of employment space at Killingworth Moor. Killingworth Moor South is one the first phases of this strategic site to be brought forward.

Social benefits
The project will generate new, high quality family homes help to retain families within the local area which supports local services, as well as a new spine road from Great Lime Road. It will provide affordable homes to help young families get on the property ladder, in the area where they grew up and the new homes will attract new families to the area too, increasing the spend in the local economy and strengthening the existing community.
