North East construction firm All Saints Developments is to build 14 executive homes within a walled garden setting as part of an £11 million project in Newcastle.The four and five-bedroomed properties will be set within a four acre site adjacent to Newcastle Racecourse in Gosforth, which originally served the 18th Century Brandling Estate.The scheme will include houses with sedum (grass) and zinc roofs to reflect the appearance of the garden centre and aquatics outlet that formerly occupied the site.Wildlife protection initiatives have been carried out at the site, including traps to discover whether great crested newts migrate across the garden. In addition, a bat house will be built for the pipistrelles which are believed to live in a crack in one of the garden walls – some of which are to be carefully restored during the project.Construction work is expected to start early next year and be completed by the second quarter of 2018.
