More than 200 new homes on the way in Sunderland - here's how they could look

The new development, Doxford Green, is located on Lodgeside Meadow off Burdon Road. Work has begun the first phase of development which is set to bring 60 homes to the area in Spring 2023, while an additional 158 homes are expected to follow later in phases two and three at the site.

Doxford Green will offer a collection of four and five bedroom detached homes located four miles away from Sunderland city centre. The first phase of homes are now available to reserve by booking an appointment with the Sales Office at neighbouring development, Cherry Tree Park.

Housebuilder Barratt Developments North East also has plans to contribute £1.4 million to the area, with the funds going towards education and recreation facilities, in addition to allotments, and improvements to public transport and road links.
