Luxury North East housebuilder, Cameron Hall Homes, has been granted planning permission to deliver a further 135 new homes at its flagship development on the Wynyard Estate, County Durham.
Construction of the second phase of Stoney Wood is expected to begin in August 2027, with the new three, four and five-bedroom homes due to launch to the market in autumn 2027.
The second phase will comprise 135 plots in total, 81 of which will be marketed and sold by Cameron Hall Homes. The remaining 54 plots have been sold to regional housebuilder, Banks Homes.
Mark Antonopoulos, managing director at Cameron Hall Homes, said: “We are delighted that Banks Homes has secured a deal to acquire 54 units from Cameron Hall Developments at Stoney Wood. It is a strong endorsement of the location, the quality of the wider masterplan and the continued demand for high-quality family housing on the Wynyard Estate.”
“Banks Homes is a respected regional housebuilder with deep roots in the North East, and we are pleased to be working alongside them on the next stage of this important development.”
As with the first 76 homes at Stoney Wood, the second phase will be designed to a high specification, with a strong focus on energy efficiency. Each home is expected to achieve an EPC A rating and will be gas-free, requiring minimal energy for heating, lighting and hot water.
Stoney Wood is also one of the first developments in the North East to be built in line with Part L 2025 standards, supporting the conservation of fuel and power and helping to deliver homes that are more sustainable and cost-efficient to run.
Mark continued: “We are pleased to be continuing the Stoney Wood story, with the second phase of homes now approved. Since launching our first collection of homes in 2024, Cameron Hall Homes has continued to go from strength to strength, and we are proud to be recognised as one of the North East’s most distinguished family-owned housebuilders.
“The homes in this next phase will be spacious, sustainable and attractive, designed with a clear focus on community, quality and long-term value. We are looking forward to construction beginning in 2027 and are excited to see Stoney Wood continue to grow.”
Residents at Stoney Wood will also benefit from a new community hub, set to open later this year. The hub will include a café, veterinary surgery, medical practice, a selection of independent artisan shops and a village hall for local classes, events and community groups. It will also feature dedicated parking, EV charging points and a bistro-style terrace overlooking the surrounding landscape.
