MORE than 450 people have had their say on where new housing should be built in the Stockton borough.
However, Stockton Borough Council is urging more people to express their views before the consultation period ends on Monday.
The council already has sites earmarked for possible development up to 2021. However, an ever-growing population means the borough will require about 2,800 extra homes between 2021 and 2028.
Nearly 500 people have already commented on where they think future developments should be built.
New homes could be spread amongst several of the identified sites or concentrated on a small number. On some sites, although they may be technically suitable, development may not be desirable.
A consultation document outlines the possible sites, explains the pros and cons at each and asks for comments on which are the most suitable. For a copy of the consultation questionnaire, visit stockton.gov.uk/planningfor housing, email planningforhousing@stockton.gov.uk or call 01642-526050.
