    County Durham house builder takes on its first ‘large-scale residential development’

    Regional housebuilder Banks Homes has chosen its home county as the location for its first large-scale residential development.

    The County Durham-headquartered firm is set to build up to 150 new homes on a seven-hectare site at Station Road in West Rainton. And as part of the project, long-awaited improvements will be made to the West Rainton and Pittington Lane junctions of the A690, with Durham County Council installing new traffic signalling and a new pedestrian crossing expected to be complete by the summer.

    The West Rainton site, which already has been granted detailed planning permission, will see 120 three-to-five bedroomed family homes being built, as well as an allocation of 30 affordable homes, which will include two and three bedroomed houses and two-bedroomed bungalows.
