Summary
- 130 new homes approved for Burtree Garden Village.
- Faverdale development aims for 2,000 homes over 20 years.
- Council committee greenlit the housing application.
Plans for 130 new homes have been approved for the Burtree Garden Village site in Darlington. The application was greenlit by the Darlington Borough Council's planning committee. This approval signifies an important milestone for the larger scheme, which received initial outline approval in 2024.
The wider development, located in Faverdale, is planned to ultimately deliver 2,000 homes over a 20-year period. Proposed amenities include a school, community centre, pub, and health facilities. The site is situated on former farmland near Burtree Lane, Faverdale Industrial Estate, and the A68.
Public spaces and pedestrian routes are designed to integrate with the garden village network. An access road connecting Rotary Way to Burtree Lane will also be constructed, alongside community facilities. Officials believe these new homes will enhance the local area and contribute to the vibrancy of Greater Faverdale.
