Alder Heights will see the housebuilder bring 64 homes to the seaside town four miles south of Sunderland.

Barratt Homes has now begun construction on the 64-property project, which will include two-, three- and four-bedroom homes.

The housebuilder has contributed more than £400,000 to the local area via the project’s Section 106 agreement.

This includes £152,000 for education, £128,000 on roadworks between the Ryhope and Doxford link and £64,000 on recreational facilities.

Other funding slugs will go to public transport, junction improvement works, Tunstall Road highway improvement works, allotments and biodiversity and ecological mitigation.

Barratt expects to open a sales office and show home in late summer.

Lewis Quinn, senior site manager, said: “We are very excited to begin work at our brand new development in Sunderland. We’ve seen fantastic success with our homes in the area previously, which makes it a really exciting time for us to continue delivering high quality homes to the people of Sunderland.”
