en.Wedoany.com Reported - Taylor Wimpey, in collaboration with Gateshead Council, has submitted a planning application for a 252-home development at Clasper Village. This elevated site overlooking the River Tyne is designated for regeneration. The land is being prepared for development using £3 million in funding secured by North East Mayor Kim McGuinness. The application covers a mix of one to four-bedroom homes, including new access routes, landscaping, and public space upgrades.

The council plans to purchase 15% of the homes in the development. Of the homes purchased by the council, two-thirds will be for affordable or social rent, and one-third for affordable sale (including shared ownership). The site is within walking and cycling distance of both Gateshead town centre and Newcastle city centre, aiming to encourage sustainable travel and maximize the use of green and natural spaces. New pedestrian and cycle connections, leisure areas, and landscaping for the development are central to the masterplan.

The development has been designed in partnership with P+HS Architects in the north, focusing on creating a walkable community closely connected to green spaces and the riverside. The site is near The Staiths South Bank – an award-winning community previously delivered by Taylor Wimpey, marking a new phase in the regeneration of Gateshead's riverside. Mark Fletcher, Land and Planning Director for Taylor Wimpey North East, said: "Submitting plans for Clasper Village marks a significant milestone for this site. By working with Gateshead Council and the North East Mayor, our proposals will deliver a thoughtfully designed community that reflects its riverside character."
