Housing sites · Tipner East allocation

Bellway site, Tipner East

221 homes. Awaiting a decision. Land north of Stamshaw Junior School.

Awaiting a decisionNo buying route found yet

1 · What is planned

Homes and stage

Proposed. Separate from, and additional to, the 835 at Victory Quay (BBC, 2023).

Where it stands: The council register shows application 21/01357/FUL as awaiting decision. An earlier committee resolution to grant (pending a legal agreement) is not the same as an issued permission.

Planning (21/01357/FUL): Awaiting decision (council register, reported 10 November 2026). Description includes roads, cycleways, parking, open space and possible links to the park-and-ride. Reference reported from the council register, which blocks scripted access.

2 · Can I buy?

First-time buyers

No first-time buyer scheme confirmed for specific plots.

Affordable and social homes

Almost a third affordable, as reported by the BBC in 2023. A legally agreed figure and the social-rent number are not confirmed.

An earlier proposal, not an audited obligation.

What comes with the homes

“Proposed” means part of the scheme or application. “Not found” means no secured obligation could be verified, not that none exists.

  • Schools Not found Not verified.
  • SEND places Not found Not verified.
  • GP and health Not found Not verified.
  • Parking proposed Parking and cycleways are part of the application description.

5 · Energy

Heating and solar

No site-specific solar, heating or Future Homes Standard statement found.

The Future Homes Standard regulations are due to come into force on 24 March 2027 with transitional arrangements; whether they apply to a building depends on its building-control application and commencement dates. Solar panels, heat pumps or an A-rated certificate do not by themselves show compliance, and compliance does not require a heat pump in every flat.
