A controversial development plan for 550 homes near Middlesbrough has raised significant concerns about the potential for residents becoming isolated.

Housebuilder Bellway has launched the 'Your Home, Your Way' initiative, offering up to £10,000 of financial assistance to prospective homebuyers in Cardiff and up to £5,000 in Newport, aiming to ease the path to homeownership through mortgage subsidies, deposit contributions, or funding for home upgrades.

Builders Bellway Homes North East jumped into action when I asked for an explanation about Andrew Hutchinson's complaint.

THEY say home is where the heart is - but a fed up group of residents today claimed buying new property on an Ipswich estate has left them wishing they had never bothered. All 16 homeowners in Cranberry Square, Ravenswood, have levelled an angry blast at Bellway, criticising the developer for failing to deliver the dream home they say they were promised.

The brochure described it as a gently-sloping back garden. But when Alan and Jackie Carter prepared to move into their newly-completed four-bedroom Bellway house, they were horrified to discover what could only be described as a cliff towering above it.

The lack of communication and excuses are adding to sheer frustration and I if I could I would withdraw from this property. There is no commitment from the builders at all, they don't work weekends even though they are dramatically behind.
