Story Homes will also develop 60 affordable homes, half of which will be for rent; the other 30 homes will be sold to local people at a discounted rate.

Homes and Communities Agency area manager Gill Hay said: "The high levels of affordable homes will mean that local people will be able to live in the house they want and still stay in the community."

Durham County Council cabinet member for housing Cllr Clive Robson said: "This is an exciting time for Consett and the surrounding area, with a number of key developments taking off."

"I am particularly pleased to welcome the additional number of affordable homes which will make a significant contribution towards the council’s overall target for the county," Robson said.
