Search the Public Notice PortalPlans for another 495 homes in Yarm have been announced - the fourth bid to build a new estate in the town in just four months.
Gladman Developments wants to build a string of new “high quality houses” in a mix of sizes on the land north of Green Lane, next to Morley Carr Farm.
The 23-hectare site, which is currently agricultural land, would also be home to public open space, landscaping and planting, footpaths, and children’s play area.
It comes at a contentious time for housing in Yarm after plans were announced for 600 new homes off Green Lane, 255 new homes in Aislaby, and 376 homes at Mount Leven this year.
Taylor Wimpey is the only developer to officially lodge plans with Stockton Council as of yet, with the "reckless" proposals sparking a total of 390 objections.
Gladman, which has more than 30 years of experience in the development and land industry, said it is “committed to bringing forward sustainable developments”.
It said the land at Green Lane represents a “significant opportunity to deliver new housing in a sustainable location” as it is “well connected” to the existing estates of Yarm.
Latest plans
The proposed new estate, which would be opposite the Tall Trees housing development, would have 20 per cent of affordable housing, which equates to 99 homes.
The new homes will be set within "attractive areas" of public open space and landscaping, which “will create a biodiverse and healthy living environment”.
It would have a water basin, or sustainable urban drainage system, to manage on site water as well as improved connectivity to the surrounding public rights of way network.
It would also boast vehicle, pedestrian, and cycle connections to Green Lane.
These proposals may change following feedback from the public consultation, which is now open, before the plans are formally submitted.
A website detailing the plans notes how residents “often have concerns about how the facilities within the area would be able to accommodate the additional residents.”
In response, the developer said: “If a shortfall is identified within a facility, for example schools, a contribution will be made to accommodate the additional residents. This will be discussed and agreed with Stockton Council.”
Concerns Yarm ‘can’t take anymore’
The Northern Echo has reported extensively over the last several months about several plans for new estate in Yarm, with four bids being announced in the last four months alone.
This does not include the plans that have been formally submitted for 217 new homes off Low Lane, on the Ingleby Barwick side of Leven Bank.
All four of the plans have sparked intense backlash amongst residents, some of whom said the town is already “stretched to the limits”.
Stockton West MP Matt Vickers has argued throughout that the town “can't take more anymore” and that the infrastructure “can’t cope”.
A major concern amongst residents is the impact on Yarm Medical Practice, which has been based on Worsall Road since 1984.
Earlier this month, the partners at the GP surgery spoke out, reassuring residents that the practice was “built with expansion in mind”.
They said there is “adequate space to build more clinical rooms if necessary” - and that the practice is “geared up and ready to take on new patients”.
Both the Low Lane and Green Lane estates are awaiting a decision from the council.

Residents can now have their say on the plans for the estate north of Green Lane via a survey, with the consultation running until October 17.
Comments received after this date may still be considered as the outline proposals are finalised.
