Baldwins Gate is a village located in the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
The site covers an area of approximately 13.2 ha (31.6 acres) and is located on the edge of the settlement, some 500m from the centre of the village, with the amenities of a primary school, public house/restaurant, doctor’s surgery, post office/general store, PFS and shops serving the local community.
In November 2021, we submitted an Outline Planning application (all matters reserved except for access) to the Borough Council.
The proposal is for up to 200 dwellings, 25% of which will be affordable, as well as improvements to the Highways for village and improved education provision.
In addition, some 50% of the site will be retained and developed as public open space. The development will incorporate a children’s natural play area, allotments, a community orchard and community parkland for the village.
Planning permission was granted at a public inquiry in July 2023.
In December 2023 we sold the site to housebuilder Bellway Homes.
