Vistry Partnerships North East has secured planning permission for 75 additional homes at its Kirkleatham Green development, in Redcar
The new homes which will be constructed for Beyond Housing, have been designed for residents with a wide range of support needs, including adults over 55, residents with accessibility requirements and others with learning disabilities.Â
The Kirkleatham Green development includes 31 two bedroomed and 14 one bedroomed apartments, six wheelchair accessible two-bedroomed bungalows, 12 single bedroomed quarter houses and 12 two-bedroomed flats.
They will be energy efficient – reducing carbon emissions by 50% – thanks to the inclusion of Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery, which reclaims heat from extracted air to pre-heat the incoming fresh air, minimum heat loss insulation and Air Source Heat Pump hot water cylinders.
Solution to the housing challenge on Teesside
Andrew Rennie, development director at Vistry Partnerships North East, said: “Our Kirkleatham Green development offers a unique and innovative solution to the housing challenge on Teesside, delivering housing options for all.
“Whether people are looking to buy outright, to rent privately or to access supported housing options – such as affordable rent or shared ownership through a registered provider – there have been homes available at Kirkleatham Green.
“Now, following this planning consent, an additional housing offer is to be added to what is already an inclusive project, furthering our goal to create homes that meet almost every kind of need in the wide and diverse community.
“We share Homes England’s ambition to deliver high quality, large scale housing at pace – whilst also providing jobs and training opportunities which boost local economies.
“We want to create communities in which people choose to live and work and homes in which they can take pride.”

“At Beyond Housing, we are committed to delivering high quality homes which meet a range of housing choices for our customers and contribute to the prosperity and regeneration of the local communities.”
