Properties are earmarked for a patch of agricultural land south of Bowood Close in Ryhope and access will be via the new development to the north-east along Rockcliffe.
All dwellings are proposed to have between two and four bedrooms with a mix of garage, driveway and visitor parking across the site totalling some 159 parking spaces.

In addition, developers have proposed to provide an allocation of 10% affordable housing across the new estate.
A design and access statement prepared for the applicant claims the scheme will “enhance the profile of the local area by providing a distinctive community atmosphere.”

“The primary route around the site will be framed by attractive landscaping with tree planting to form a green boulevard connecting distinctive development cells across the scheme.
“There will be an emphasis on pedestrian and cycle movement with carefully considered links throughout the scheme.”
