Search the Public Notice PortalPlans have been submitted to build 83 homes in a County Durham village.
The planning application, submitted by Gleeson Regeneration Ltd, proposes the construction of two-storey houses with two, three, and four bedrooms on a site north of Salvin Terrace, Fishburn.
Proposed homes include a mix of bungalows, semi-detached, and detached houses, 10 per cent of which will be designated as affordable housing.
This includes two discount market sale units and six affordable rent units.
All affordable rent units will be transferred to a registered provider, while the discount market sale units will be sold at 80 per cent market value.
Homes will be allocated with a preference for buyers with local connections to Fishburn, the former Sedgefield district and County Durham, the developer said.
The 4.38-hectare site, currently undeveloped grassland, had previously received outline permission for 70 dwellings, although this has since lapsed. Current proposals increase the number of homes to 83.

The development is designed to have good transport links, with three bus stops located within 800 metres of the site.
A total of 221 parking spaces will be included in the development and plans also propose a new road access via Little Thornton, with the existing public right of way to be diverted.
The application was submitted on September 26 and Durham County Council is expected to make a decision in the coming weeks.
