Places for People in partnership with Adderstone Living has completed its latest social housing development in South Shields, South Tyneside.
The development, built on the former land owned by South Shields FC, comprises 69 family homes in a range of two-, three-, and four-bedroom layouts, all built to Homes England standards. Situated on Shaftesbury Avenue a couple of miles from South Shields town centre and the coast, the site creates an extension of a well-established residential area, occupying a 26,305m2 brownfield site next to South Shields Football Club.
The new homes are designed for modern family living, featuring private gardens and dedicated parking spaces. The development is committed to sustainability, with 98% of the former warehouse on the site recycled.
The location offers easy access to local amenities and transport links, including Bede and Simonside metro stations and major road networks like the A19 and A1(M). New residents will receive a free preloaded 'top-up' travel card for use on local public transport. The homes are now complete and ready for occupancy.
Nilam Buchanan, Regional Managing Director, Central and North at Places for People, commented: "We are delighted to have completed the Shaftesbury Avenue development, providing high-quality homes, and creating a thriving community, in an area where there is great demand. We’re pleased to see that customers have already moved in and started to make their new homes their own and would like to thank our partners at Adderstone Living for bringing the vision to life and helping create a well-connected community and offering more opportunities for families to thrive.”
Stephen McCoy, Director at Adderstone Group added: “We were delighted to partner with People for Places on this project. When we sourced this land there was a scheme design that was totally stuck in planning. Changing the layout totally and redesigning the access arrangements we managed to satisfy planners and achieve a viable scheme. The finished product is excellent and fits well into its new surroundings compared to the derelict factory that occupied the whole site previously.”
