Gartland Road

About the proposed development

This site is on both sides of Gartland Road. The land on the south side of Gartland Road will be for housing, and the existing trees will be removed. The land on the north side will be for green space, with new trees and shrubs planted.

Sunderland City Council has announced that 13,410 new homes need to be built by 2030. The proposed development will help meet this target to provide affordable housing for local people.

The proposed layout has 15 new properties consisting of three- and four-bedroom houses. All properties will be available for affordable rent.

The houses will have:

• a spacious and contemporary design
• features like air source heat pumps, solar panels, and enhanced insulation
• its own garden
• at least one parking space

The development will have:

• areas of green space
• a sustainable drainage system to reduce the risk of flooding
• an access road from Gartland Road and Gilbert Road

A postcode to use to search the nearby area is SR4 9QS.
