Two weeks in to Stockton Council's consultation on where up to 2,800 new homes could be built and a pretty clear picture is already taking shape.
Of the three sites being considered in Yarm and Kirklevington, the two to the south of Green Lane are both receiving the thumbs down from residents with roughly 44% of respondants either disagreeing or strongly disagreeing that they should be considered for new homes. The picture is less clear with the third however (to the west of Yarm along the length of Allerton Balk); 43% of respondants agree / strongly agree that this site should be considered with 41% disagreeing / strongly disagreeing.
With the consultation due to run for a further 8 weeks there is still everything to play for. I will shortly be announcing details of a drop in session for residents to come and see the plans, where I and other Conservative councillors will be on hand to answer questions.
In the meantime the proposals can be viewed clicking here, or can be obtained by e-mailing spatialplans@stockton.gov.uk.
