Regeneration and Master Planning Case Studies

Case Study 1: Dunblane Flats Area, West Denton

Work is now complete on our attractive new development of 50 homes on land next to Dunblane Crescent, West Denton. The development was delivered successfully within time and to budget. New affordable homes image

We have been working in close partnership with Your Homes Newcastle and Newcastle City Council to build nine two-bedroom bungalows, nine two-bedroom flats, 19 two-bedroom houses, six three-bedroom houses and one four-bedroom house for rent. Six three-bedroom houses have also been built for New Build HomeBuy and they were quickly 'snapped up'.

Consultation and involvement of local residents in decision-making has been the key to the successful regeneration of the area. This ensured that the correct type and mix of housing was provided, meeting the needs, demands and aspirations of local people. There is a strong sense of community within the Dunblane Flats area of West Denton, and we aim to reinforce this.

Isos firmly believes that successful regeneration involves close partnership working with all local stakeholders.

A Phase 2 of the development is now being planned. Isos proposes to build 17 affordable homes for rent and 46 homes for sale. A number of the homes for sale may be available through New Build HomeBuy or other shared-equity schemes.

Again, the mix of the proposed development was identified following extensive discussion and consultation with Newcastle City Council, Your Homes Newcastle, local residents and other stakeholders. It reflects housing need and demand in the area.

Phase 2 will include substantial areas of open space, including an informal children's play area adjacent to large areas of soft landscaping.

Using National Lottery funding, within Phase 2 we propose to build a Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) and a shelter for the young people on the estate. There will be areas of extensive soft landscaping surrounding these features.
