Proposals have been submitted to Hartlepool Borough Council for land north of the A689 as part of the continued expansion of the Wynyard Park estate.
The latest reserved matters application, submitted by Bellway Homes Limited, seeks to deliver 179 homes on a seven hectare area which is undeveloped arable land.
It currently has permission for 170 homes however Bellway has undertaken a “re-plan of the development with the intent to reduce the number of larger five-bed properties and increase the number of in-demand smaller family homes.”
The latest scheme provides a “greater proportion” of three-bed properties and provides 32 affordable homes, one more than previously.
The development would include 22 two bed properties, including at least four bungalows, 74 three bed homes, 75 four bed and eight five bed.
The plans form part of a wider 44 hectare site that was previously granted outline planning permission to provide up to 1,200 homes.
Last year permission was granted by HBC to build 97 dwellings on arable land at Wynyard Park despite more than 10 letters of objections lodged by residents.
