Bussey & Armstrong Projects Ltd and Darlington Borough Council have had their outline planning permission for the second phase of Westpark Garden Village approved. The plans to develop land at Mount Pleasant Farm and Stag House Farm which are collectively named ‘Westpark Garden Village’ were given the go ahead.

Part of this second phase will be a second public park, running along the A1(M), with additional green open space running across the entire development. The work will take around 15 years to complete, with the park scheduled to be done at the end of the project.
