COUNCILLORS will tomorrow consider plans to build homes on the site of a former social club.

Hall Construction wants to redevelop the site of Horndale Workingmen's Club, at Meadowfield Way, in Newton Aycliffe, for residential use.

The Rushyford-based firm has applied to Sedgefield Borough Council for permission to build 19 houses on the site.

The 17 terrace houses and two detached houses would vary in height.

In response to residents' concerns, the developer had revised an earlier proposal by reducing the height of some houses.

In a report to councillors, planning officers are to recommend that members of the development control committee refuse the application.
