225 homes at Hemlington Grange Phase 3B & 4B, Middlesbrough

Summary of planning committee decision

Decided by Middlesbrough Planning and Development Committee on 4 Sept 2025.

24/0463/RESApproved

What was proposed

The application sought reserved matters approval for 225 homes, landscaping, sustainable drainage basins and associated infrastructure in two final development phases.

“24/0463/RES Location: Hemlington Grange Phase 3B & 4B, Middlesbrough Proposal: Reserved Matters application (Phase 3b and 4b)for the erection of 225 no. dwellings, landscaping, SUDs basins and associated infrastructure on application ref.”

“It is considered that the proposed development would provide a good mix of dwelling types which are of a high quality design and materials, in an attractive landscaped setting with an appropriate layout that will complement the earlier phases of development. The development will not result in a significant detrimental impact on the amenities of existing local residents and provides good sustainable transport links.”

To the west of phase 3b is an area of open space which is part of the wider Hemlington Grange site which currently does not benefit from any planning permission. To the south is open space and to the east is an area of open space which benefits from outline consent for housing.”
