Land deal paves way for housebuilder scheme

A housebuilder has secured a land deal to push forward a 111-property development.

Amethyst Homes has bought a site in Guide Post, near Ashington, Northumberland.

Construction could begin in the summer.

The scheme, known as The Woodlands, will include two, three and four-bedroom homes.

Richard Bass, managing director of Consett-based Amethyst Homes, said: “We are hopeful that when planning is approved, we will be able to deliver much-needed housing to the area.

“We also hope to support the local economy and community through potential training and employment opportunities, as well as investing in the local supply chain.”

Established in 2013, Amethyst Homes has delivered nearly 600 properties across the North East.
