New homes: consultations and other events

CCHA’s Development Team sought local views on two proposed affordable homes schemes in November 2022, holding public events in Hexham and Brampton.

The proposed housing developments would see around 62 new homes in Hexham and 60 new homes in Brampton, near Carlisle.

“We’re committed to investing in new affordable homes, in the locations where we know communities would benefit most from them. To deliver this, it’s really important that we hear the views of local people, as our projects are shaped and tailored by community comments and insight. We held consultation events in person for both of these proposed developments, so local people could meet our design team and ask us any questions, before we submit planning applications during 2023. We also gave people the chance to give us their views online, who couldn’t attend in person.”

In the Autumn of 2022, we held an open day at one of our newest developments in the north east, Adlam Court in Newsham, Blyth. The event gave new residents the chance to meet colleagues from our development and housing teams, the site’s developers and builders, and members of CCHA’s Resident Scrutiny Panel.

The 27-home development is made up of 2 and 3 bedroom family homes and 2 bedroom bungalows. The open day was a great way for the new residents to provide valuable feedback on the scheme to CCHA colleagues, and it got everyone together to socialise, get to know each other, and to start building strong community foundations.
