Plans have been submitted for the construction of up to 620 new homes on farmland located next to Newcastle Golf Club in Staffordshire. This significant development is proposed for the edge of Newcastle-under-Lyme, off Whitmore Road.
The application, put forth by Richborough, envisions a comprehensive scheme. Beyond residential units, it includes provisions for a new country park, public open space, a dedicated play area, and allotments. A crucial element of the plan involves the first phase of a new link road connecting the A53 and A525.
Developers state the area faces a substantial deficit in its housing land supply. The proposed homes will offer a mix of one to five-bedroom properties. A key feature is that approximately 30% of the new homes will be designated as affordable housing.
