Proposals for a new \u00a314m housing scheme on the outskirts of a county Durham village have been submitted for consent<\/h2>\n

The new housing scheme includes 49 two, three, four and five-bedroom homes and one and two-bedroom retirement apartments.<\/p>\n

The plans are to be considered by the Durham County Council<\/a> planning department.<\/p>\n

If the project is given the green light in February 2020, the development by Akenside Developments Ltd<\/a> at Syke Road in Burnopfield could create up to 150 local construction jobs<\/a> including work for apprentices, graduates and trainees.<\/p>\n

Much-needed housing<\/h3>\n

The housing scheme is seen as a much-needed boost to housing stock, including the availability of more affordable properties, plugging a gap in the local market for larger, more energy efficient homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Burnopfield scheme is also expected to boost spending on local leisure facilities and services by up to \u00a340,000 a year, as people move into their new homes.<\/p>\n

Designed by architectural firm Ergo Projects<\/a>, onsite work is expected to start this spring with the first release of the new homes due to be completed by 2021.<\/p>\n

Ergo Projects managing director, Adrian Reay, said: \u201cWe have created a development that meets the needs of the local community and delivers exceptional new homes for the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as a good variety of house types, the landscape proposals for the site are equally impressive and we are excited to see the finished product.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reay added: \u201cAs architectural technologists, we want to work on challenging projects and for clients with ambition. With our designs, we have also focused on aspects around green credentials and ensuring the homes are as energy efficient as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to work for one of the region\u2019s most exciting, up-and-coming residential developers is an exciting one that we would welcome as a creatively-driven design office.\u201d<\/p>\n
