Dale Morris, technical director at Homes by Esh, said: “Securing planning approval for our Burdon Road development is a significant milestone for the team and a positive step forward for housing delivery in Sunderland.

“Our focus has been to design homes that not only meet the needs of modern families but also integrate seamlessly with the local area and its long-term growth plans.

“With sustainability, energy performance and community at the heart of the scheme, we look forward to bringing these homes to life and working with local partners to generate real economic benefit for the region.”

The scheme was approved by Sunderland City Council as it aligns with the council’s wider strategic masterplan for land north of Burdon Lane.

The development will include properties such as The Juniper, The Magnolia and The Laurel, which have already featured at Homes by Esh’s Collier Gardens scheme on Philadelphia Lane.

All 49 properties will meet the 2021 Building Regulations Uplift, incorporating enhanced insulation, ventilation, and energy-efficient features such as electric vehicle charging points, solar panels and smart thermostats.

The scheme also includes a Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG), complies with local authority highways requirements, and will offer a 10% affordable housing contribution.

Homes by Esh is currently delivering other high-quality housing schemes across the wider North East.

These include 35 homes at Philadelphia Lane in Houghton-le-Spring and 41 homes at Bluebell Gardens in Trimdon Village.

In Darlington, the housebuilder is progressing with Havelock Park at Blackwell Grange, which will deliver 44 executive homes, and 144 homes at Hurworth Meadows.
