A CONTROVERSIAL housing development is getting bigger in a move described by one councillor as “adding insult to injury”.
An extra 36 new homes will be added to the Woodcross Gate housing development off Flatts Lane, Normanby.
Redcar and Cleveland Council gave permission in October 2019 for 400 new properties to be built by developer Miller Homes.
The local authority had previously rejected the proposed development, but was overruled following a successful appeal by investment company Theakston Estates to the Government’s Planning Inspectorate.
Miller Homes sought to amend part of the site layout and change the house types being built under phase two of construction and has now been successful with a fresh planning application.
